Fair Use requirements

ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ

Please respect the limits of the Fair Use rules as follows:

  • include no more than one Fair Use image per page
  • upload a low-resolution version. The image is scaled to 250 pixels by the infobox, so a more detailed version is not justified
  • make good faith efforts to find a free version
  • if the author is known, please ask permission, and respect their wishes if you get a "no."

This template is for explaining the Fair Use rationale for using possibly copyrighted photographs for watercraft articles under the auspices of WikiProject Watercraft.


Usage is: {{Non-free watercraft image|article name|optional parameter}}. Optional parameter is the word no which adds the following comment:

Additional rationale
The watercraft depicted in the image was never produced and/or no intact examples of this watercraft remain in existence today, therefore creation of an equivalent free image is impossible.

There is a further named parameter |image has rationale=yes which will stop the message box in the lower part of the template from being displayed.

Therefore, the fullest usage is: {{Non-free watercraft image|article name|no|image has rationale=yes}}
