ଉଇକିପିଡ଼ିଆ:File copyright tags/Non-free

ଉଇକିପିଡ଼ିଆ‌ରୁ

Copyrighted media files may be used in Wikipedia articles on a limited basis, provided they satisfy both the legal test for fair use and Wikipedia's own guidelines for non-free content, found at Wikipedia:Non-free content. Each image or audio file has a file page where any fair-use concerns must be addressed.

Please note: Copyrighted images that can reasonably be replaced by free images may not be used on Wikipedia.

For non-free content, each image page must include:

  • A copyright tag to claim fair use. Wikipedia's file upload function and wizard each help editors choose an appropriate tag. A list is below. Non-free images that meet Wikipedia's policy but do not fit into any of the categories below should use the tag {{Non-free fair use in|Article}}.
  • A statement describing the source of the media.
  • A separate "non-free use rationale" for each use in a Wikipedia article. Instructions, guidelines, samples, and templates are available at Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline.
  • {{Non-free 2D art}}—for low resolution images of two dimensional works of art under copyright.
  • {{Non-free 3D art}}—for images of three-dimensional works of art that are still under copyright.
  • {{Non-free architectural work}}—for images of buildings that have been proposed but not completed yet.
