Fair Use Image Data
Description

This image documents a portion of a publication for bibliographic research purposes. Typically, Miscellaneous Publication Content images would include scans of a title page, copyright page, copyright acknowledgments, table of contents, and similar material from a specific publication. In this case the scan is from the publication {{{1}}}. The copyright for the material shown is believed to belong to the publisher, author(s), editor(s), or artist(s) involved with this publication. Please see the publication record linked above for details.

Portion used

The entire image is needed to identify the issue, including the contents of this issue, help confirm bibliographic data, and to properly convey the meaning intended.

Fair Use Image Rationale
Purpose of use The image is used as a means of documenting the publication and to confirm the accuracy of such bibliographic data as contents titles, authors, content types, publisher, and cover artist.
Replaceable?

As this is documenting material from a specific publication, the image is either not replaceable by free content or it is likely that documenting the same details would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary.

Rationale

The use of this image, in connection with the display of bibliographic information about the publication and the contents of the publication linked to above, as part of the ISFDB, a non-profit bibliographic reference work, on servers located within the United States, is believed to constitute Fair Use within the meaning of United States copyright law. Reusers of the ISFDB's content should take care to be sure that their use conforms to applicable copyright law -- not all such uses will constitute fair use, and copyright law varies significantly in different nations.

Documentation for the template: Miscellaneous Publication Content (transcluded from Template:Miscellaneous Publication Content/Doc).

Purpose

This template is to be placed on the image description page for a Miscellaneous Publication Content image used to document a portion of a publication under fair use. Please note that specific fair use templates are available to document a publication's cover or any illustrations, logos, and signatures that may be found in a publication. This template would be used with other material that does not fall into those categories.

Usage

Call this template as:

{{Miscellaneous Publication Content
|Pub=<TAG>
}}

or as:

{{Miscellaneous Publication Content
|Id=<TAG>
}}

or as:

{{Miscellaneous Publication Content|<TAG>}}

or as:

{{Miscellaneous Publication Content|<TAG>|<publication title>}}

or as:

{{Miscellaneous Publication Content
|Pub=<TAG>
|Title=<publication title>
}}

Note: In all the above examples, when a parameter is shown in angle brackets, like:

<Parameter>

then the parameter, and the angle brackets, should be replaced by the value of the parameter. For example: Title=<TITLE> should become Title=The Name of the Book (or whatever the name might be).

When using an unnamed (positional) parameter, it should NOT be the last thing on the line. It should be followed by either a pipe symbol (|) if there is another parameter to follow, or by the template call close (}}) if there is not. Otherwise the parameter value will be passed as including the carriage return at the end of the line, which will probably cause the template to function incorrectly.

Parameters

  • Pub must specify a publication record tag or record number, an acceptable argument to Template:P (which see). Id may be used instead. If neither the "Pub=" nor the "Id=" parameter is present, the first unnamed parameter is used. One of these must be present and valid for the template to work correctly.
  • Title is used to specify the title of the publication, for display. If an unnamed parameter is used for Pub, a 2nd unnamed parameter may be used for title.

{{Miscellaneous Publication Content
|Pub=<TAG>
}}

or as:

{{Miscellaneous Publication Content|<TAG>}}
