Fiction Books
[edit]Should we make articles on certain fiction novels? Please chat me at my talk page. My talk page-Editor028
Question about book covers uploads
[edit]I have a fairly extensive physical library (at least in my narrow discipline) and could upload several scans of various book covers. Can this be done in Wikimedia Commons with a fair use attribution? I'm struggling to figure out how to best do this without causing any copyright issues. I've seen files uploaded directly onto Wikipedia, but have mostly used commons for creating images. GeogSage (⚔Chat?⚔) 17:10, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for wanting to add these resources. If the book covers are still copyrighted, they can't go on Wikimedia Commons (which doesn't allow fair-use images, only truly copyright-free ones) but they can very usefully be uploaded to Wikipedia directly. I always use the Wikipedia:File upload wizard to upload book covers, which will eventually prompt you for a non-free use rationale. You'll be able to pick Template:Non-free book cover. You'd then need to add the image to the book article directly, so the fair use conditions would actually apply, so it's a little more complex than putting a whole bunch of images in Commons at once would be, but it would be extra helpful to readers! ~ L 🌸 (talk) 03:27, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the explanation! That is unfortunate, I had hoped to just upload on Wikimedia Commons, but oh well. I'll check my excel sheet of books against pages to see what I can add using that approach. Have a great day! GeogSage (⚔Chat?⚔) 04:40, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- American book jackets published before 1978 in the US are considered separate works that require their own copyright notice/license (see commons:Template:US book dust jacket 1909–1977, so if you have hardcovers that were never published with a jacket copyright notice, they could be public domain uploads for Commons. czar 12:43, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- As mentioned, if you upload to Wikipedia using Template:Non-free book cover you'll be asked for a non-free use rationale. That's generally similar for all book covers, and you can simply copy most of the wording from an existing file such as File:Three Bear Witness, 1st edition cover (Sanford).png.

Articles for creation
[edit]Hello Wikiproject Books! I work at the BYU Library as their Wikipedian-in-residence. Due to recent concerns about our editing, we've been trying to put our new pages through AfC. My student, Noah, recently created a stubby page for a poetry collection: Draft:The World Doesn't End. Would anyone be willing to give us some feedback on it or review the page? I thought that listing the table of contents was unusual, but Ariel (poetry collection) also does this.
Wikiproject literature and Wikiproject Poetry both seem kinda dead... we have also created two pages related to American poetry (but not as directly related to book pages): Draft:Poetry of Czesław Miłosz (also by Noah) and Draft:Gail Mazur (by me).
