Although it is on a public domain an freely available, I cannot upload the cover picture of the journal at: http://journals.tubitak.gov.tr/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hgeckil (talkcontribs)

  • Hi, please remember to sign your talk page posts using four tildes (~) or the button with the pencil above this editing window. The cover image may be freely available online, but that doesn't mean that it is not copyrighted. The site you link to does not explicitly say that material on it is released under a Creative Commons license and, in fact, the copyright release form posted on the journal's home page makes it clear that this is indeed not the case. Hence, the image is copyrighted and cannot be posted on Commons like you did. However, such images can be uploaded under a "fair use" license directly into en:WP itself. You will find instructions on how to do it in the Journal Writing Guide linked in the banner that I placed on top of this page. Hope this helps. --Randykitty (talk) 07:05, 13 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
