In-game screenshot of Nintendo 64 version of Space Invaders
[edit]
Description: Screenshot from the Nintendo 64 version of Space Invaders. I took this image myself, but all of the visual elements are individually part of Activision's copyrighted work; therefore, it is eligible only for fair-use redistribution within the United States.
License: Fair use (to accompany an article describing the game; this is consistent with English Wikipedia's practice for almost all other commercial videogame articles, as well as almost all published game reviews, guides, etc.)

Official Match Post of 2024 Chinese FA Super Cup

| Description |
Official match poster of 2024 Chinese FA Super Cup. The post art copyright is believed to belong to CFA. |

| Article | |
| Portion used |
The entire poster. Because the image is a post, 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 post. 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 |
Main infobox. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as poster art. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing the work, to show the primary visual image associated with the work, and to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for. to serve as the primary means of visual identification at the top of the article dedicated to the work in question. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original work, namely the post creator's ability to provide poster design services and in turn marketing poster to the public. |
| Replaceable? |
As a Poster, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the book would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary. Using a different image in the infobox would be misleading as to the identity of the work. Any derivative work based upon the cover art would be a copyright violation, so creation of a free image is not possible. |
| Other information |
The use of the poster will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original. In particular, copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the poster. |

Omu Okwei historical portrait.png
[edit]
Hold expiredDescription: A low-resolution crop of the historical portrait of Omu Okwei reproduced as the plate facing page 91 in Felicia Ifeoma Ekejiuba's chapter “Omu Okwei of Osomari”, in Bolanle Awe (ed.), Nigerian Women in Historical Perspective (Sankore, 1992). The National Library of Nigeria scan places the portrait on PDF page 98 (printed plate page 90).
URL: https://nigeriareposit.nln.gov.ng/bitstreams/98904ce0-0f9c-440a-9e6f-1d896c9db62f/download#page=98
License: Non-free biographical image / fair use. Omu Okwei died in 1943, no freely licensed portrait of her is known, and a single low-resolution image would be used only for visual identification in the infobox of her biography. The use is minimal, educational and non-commercial; it would not replace the market for the original photograph or book, and no free equivalent could be created.
Link to license information: The scholarly source and image provenance are given in the National Library of Nigeria scan above. The underlying photograph's author and copyright status are not identified in the publication, so a conservative non-free-use rationale is requested rather than a Commons upload.
Author/copyright holder's name: Photographer unknown; portrait reproduced by Felicia Ifeoma Ekejiuba / Sankore Publishers in 1992.
Article to be used on/reason for upload: Omu Okwei. The subject is a deceased historical figure, and the article currently has no image that identifies her. The requested file should be uploaded locally to English Wikipedia at low resolution and placed once in the biography's infobox with an appropriate non-free biographical-image tag and rationale.

there is no representation of the artist (her persona, she doesn't show her face), I think a fan art that was use again by the singer herself for a song and post on a social media with the # could represent her :

Article to be used on/reason for upload: Technical College of the Lowcountry. The image is requested for use in the article's infobox to identify the institution using its current official logo.

My position is graphic designer and website coordinator for TCL. I help control all branding and public-facing graphics for the college. I noticed that the Wikipedia page for the college was extremely outdated and needed updating, including the college logo. (From Mark Rand)
