Fair Use Rationale for the article Understanding Comics
[edit]
- The image is used to represent a book, Understanding Comics, by a well-known cartoonist, Scott McCloud
- This image has been used in several websites, and so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is
- The image is being used in an informative way and should not detract from the book
- The image is of low resolution
- The image does not limit the author or publishing company's ability to sell the book
- The only purpose of the image is to help describe the book Understanding Comics and no other purpose
If this rationale is not adequate, please tell me specifically what is wrong with it before moving to delete the file and I will try to improve it. Or feel free to fix it yourself. InnocuousPseudonym 19:43, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
