| Description |
This is the cover art for {{{Article}}} . The cover art copyright is believed to belong to the record label or the graphic artist(s). |
|---|---|
| Source |
The cover art can be obtained from the record label. |
| Article |
[[{{{Article}}}]] |
| Portion used |
The entire cover: because the image is cover art, a form of product packaging, the entire image is needed to identify the product, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image. |
| Low resolution? |
The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork. |
| Purpose of use |
Choose from Infobox / Header / Other |
| Replaceable? |
As musical cover art, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the music would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary. |
| Other information |
Use of the cover art in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above. |
| Fair useFair use of copyrighted material in the context of [[{{{Article}}}]]//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Non-free_use_rationale_album_covertrue | |
 | This template is used on approximately 147,000 pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
This template is to help users write non-free use rationales for non-free album covers and other music cover art as required by WP:NFC and WP:NFURG. Include this in the File page before the {{Non-free album cover}} template, once for each time you insert the album cover art image into an article.
Please use copyrighted content responsibly and in accordance with Wikipedia policy. A template alone does not make cover art fair to use. It merely helps you state why you think it is appropriate.
This template is optimized for album cover art used in the article about the album. It may or may not work in other contexts. For example, this non-free use rationale may not be appropriate for images of videos.
Before saving, try the "preview" feature to review the text produced by this template. Be sure the language is true and complete. If not, consider using the override fields, a different template, or a hand-written justification.
