This section is Logical, it is meant to be. Prepare to be bored.

Sensible Section

The powers that be require us to tag all images on Illogicopedia with appropriate copyright status.

When tagging images you will usually need the {{GFDL}} template, as the majority of pictures are licensed under GNU.

Fair useEdit

• {{Fairuse}} for most copyrighted images including DVD covers, works of art and book covers.

In many cases, the image will be used for purpose of parody and thus qualify as the Illogicopedian servers are situated in the United States. In some cases, the image may be used for critical review. However the above statement covers this anyway. Fnurdletoot!

• {{TVScreenshot}} for television screenshots and logos. Pretty self-explanatory.

This image is a screenshot of a copyrighted television program, film, advertisement, video game or station ID.

Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. For more information, see Wikipedia:Non-free content. To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.
