edit- I would like to find a nice image to use in this template. The whole Yahoo! logo looked too big, and apparently the small one I uploaded was no good for licensing. I am a bit new to editing on Wikipedia, and a bit unfamiliar with licensing issues, so what are our options for finding a suitable image? -- Chris 09:08, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
- Anyting that is not copyrighted would be fine by me. Can be tricky in this case though, dunno how strict trademark laws are on making logo "lookalikes", though with something as generic as a red Y I would asume there is some "wiggle room", but I rely can't give any legal advice on the matter. --Sherool (talk) 10:19, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
- I think the Y! was okay or even the original Yahoo! becuase the one right now doesn't even look like a logo. It just looks ugly. Wha'ts the problem with the real logo? (the Y! that Chris uploaded)TorontoStorm 20:36, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
- The problem with the "real" logo is that Wikipedia doesn't allow copyrighted images in templates or userpages, see Wikipedia:Fair use#Policy. --Sherool (talk) 00:23, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
