Talk:Jabez Tunnicliff

untitled

There is a good picture of Tunnicliff (engraving) in the book by Marles, which is old enough to be out of copyright since it was published in 1865. However, the source for a copy is through the Google Books link. I am not sure whether we have copyright clearance on the material scanned by Google if I convert this to an image to upload to Wikimedia. If it will be OK to use the Google Books version, I can upload this. -- Robert of Ramsor (talk) 02:33, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

You'd have to check with Google's Terms of Use, any copyright statements, and any other presented legality information. If things look all right IMO I think you're fine. • Jesse V.^(talk) 18:21, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

I think the answer is probably in section 4.c.iii of Google books terms of service where it says "Select, copy and paste functions may be available for some Google Digital Content, but will not be available for all Google Digital Content, and you must use these functions within the prescribed limits and only for personal non-commercial purposes." - that would exclude adding them to Wikipedia. But the place to get a definitive answer would be Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. There was a positive answer for US-published books here: http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Wikipedia:Media_copyright_questions/Archive/2012/June#Copying_images_from_books_with_expired_copyrights_in_Google_Books .
