Conservapedia:Manual of Style/Images (view source)
Revision as of 07:04, April 21, 2009
, 07:04, April 21, 2009no edit summary
'''Images''', which consist of photographs, paintings, and drawings, are uploaded to Conservapedia daily. They fall into two main categories: they are copyrighted, or they are not. Restrictions have to apply to all of them,
==Copyrighted images==
All images created after January 1923 are considered copyrighted by the creator/owner of the image unless their status has changed by owner action. To use copyrighted images in Conservapedia, you '''must''' do the following:
*On the image page, your first edit will be to identify the name of the image (such as from a painting), or the subject of it (as in a photograph); the place where the image was created; the date of the image creation, and the name of the person who created it.
*Below this edit, you will place a licence tag from the [[Fair use]] article. You will write the source where the image came from, whether from a book or website; and you will write the reason for "fair use" of the image.
To be considered "fair use", you have to have a logical justification for uploading the image to Conservapedia. If the picture is of a German shepherd dog, the image should go in that article only, and nowhere else.
==Non-copyrighted images==
These images are not copyrighted for the following reasons:
*They were created prior to January 1923, and are ineligeble for copyright under U.S. law;
*They were willfully released into the public domain by the creator/owner of the image;
*The copyright the owners once held has been allowed to lapse, releasing the image into the public domain;
*They are the product of the U.S. Government.
To upload and use these images in the articles, you still must identify the name of the image or the subject of it, the place where the image was created, the date of the image creation, and the name of the person who created it. Just because they are public domain does not absolve you of this responsibility. Use the appropriate licence tag below.
==US Government tags==
==US Government tags==
