 * Hi Bill! I have a question about adding an image from an academic book. Is it acceptable to put a copy of the image up if it's fully cited? (we're also checking on the date for copyright reasons) Thanks! aj (talk) 19:46, 5 March 2016 (UTC)


 * You'll need to conform to the image use policy regarding copyrights. In general you would need a release from the copyright holder, or the work would have to be in the public domain.  But no copyrighted material, images or otherwise, can be included without the proper release.  When was the book published? —&#160;&#160;  &#160;&#160;Bill W.&#160;&#160;  &#160;&#160; (Talk)&#160;&#160;(Contrib)&#160;&#160; (User:Wtwilson3) &#160;&#160;— 21:52, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
