Talk:Shantae and the Seven Sirens

A File I Like To Be In This Article

I Just Recent Upload A File On Wikimedia Commons and it called File:Shantae 5 Concept Art.jpg. NatwonTSG2 (talk) 22:16, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

Commons is for non-copyrighted images. Concept art is copyrighted, so it shouldn't be uploaded there. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 22:49, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

To elaborate on this: We can upload a fair-use file locally on Wikipedia (not on Commons), if we can argue that it significantly improves the reader's understanding of the article subject, and it is supported by the text. For example, this can mean having a Development section talking about the visual design, and illustrating that section with concept art. We would have to expand the development section to include that first, though, and choose an image that is particularly relevant and illustrative of what's being discussed there.--Alexandra^IDV 23:07, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

Exactly. The image should be there because it's meant to complement and provide a better understanding of the specific text of the article, not just because you want it to be there. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 23:11, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

I understand what you saying but i can't just ask the copyright owner permission or just upload the file to wikipedia. is they anything else that i can do to make the file in. NatwonTSG2 (talk) 01:02, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
