Images for musicals ...
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you very much for your good work on Amazing Grace, etc., and thank you for adding infobox images to musicals which lack an image. I would say, in general, unless there is a reason not to (no sufficiently or equally good samples, etc.), it would be preferable to use the/an official poster for a play, rather than the Playbill cover, because it's more directly and immediately representative, and there is no distraction from the Playbill headline, etc., and the Playbill is a derivative rather than the direct image, if that makes sense. One can usually find a good poster sample on Google by putting the play title in quotes, plus the words musical and poster. I would say this would be the case for Hamilton, for instance. I can understand the Playbill on Amazing Grace (harder to find a decent poster image) and Doctor Zhivago (the white-out effect), however I think Hamilton, and possibly any further musicals you may consider adding images to, would do better with the poster image.... Cheers, and keep up the good work! Happy editing, Softlavender (talk) 02:49, 19 July 2015 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Playbill from the original Broadway production of Hamilton.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Playbill from the original Broadway production of Hamilton.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:19, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
