Use the following form to upload an album cover that is not free content, if its display in specific Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. To upload a work of a different kind, please return to Wikipedia:Upload. | ||

Why am I here? | ||
Covers, illustrations, posters, movies, stamp and currency designs, web site screenshots, game screens, music videos, and so forth, even promotional pictures and advertisements, are copyrighted, with exclusive rights to use them, to copy them, and to make works derived from them reserved to the copyright holder. (There are additional restrictions with respect to stamps and currencies.) Wikipedia respects the copyrights of others — do not upload images that violate others' copyrights. | ||
What are the limited conditions? | ||
In general, non-free content uploaded under the Exemption Doctrine should be used only when the specific image itself is significant to the article, not merely what it depicts. The image must be not replaceable by a free content alternative that depicts the same thing. In other words, a screenshot from a movie is acceptable to use when talking about the movie itself — it is not acceptable to use it to talk about the actress who happens to be in the picture. (It is possible for a free content picture of the actress to be taken.) Please also be aware that section 3a of Wikipedia's Exemption Doctrine Policy specifies that multiple non-free images should not be used when one would suffice. Therefore, a second image of an album cover (including alternative covers, re-releases, etc.) is generally not permitted. If you are still in doubt, ask at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions before uploading the image! See Wikipedia:Copyrights, Wikipedia:Non-free content, Wikipedia:Image copyright tags, and Wikipedia:Image use policy for a full explanation of the Wikipedia licensing policy. | ||
