Bill Clark 10 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 What if I'm doing an article about an old car and I insert an old print ad with the article. For example, this month I'm doing a short story about a 60 Dodge Wagon. Is it fair use to include an old Dodge advertisement in my article?Bill Link to post Share on other sites
R W Burgess 265 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Hey Bill,I was waiting for another member to answer you. As far as the Publications Committee is concerned we need a "statement" tag line explaining where the photo/ad is from, whether Wikipedia fair use, or maybe "use permission" from another source.I hope this helps.Wayne Link to post Share on other sites
West Peterson 588 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Legally, there is no need to explain where a commercial ad is from. It is stated in the ad. If it is a Dodge ad, it came from Dodge, etc. As long as you aren't using the ad for monetary gain, you are perfectly within rights to use it. Link to post Share on other sites
