[edit] Summary

This work is copyrighted and unlicensed. It does not fall into one of the blanket acceptable non-free content categories listed at Wikipedia:Non-free content#Images or Wikipedia:Non-free content#Audio clips. However, it is believed that the use of this work in the article "Sri Chinmoy" : To illustrate the subject in question Where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information On the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation ([1]), qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:Copyrights. To the uploader: this tag is not a sufficient claim of fair use. You must also include the source of the work, all available copyright information, and a detailed non-free use rationale.

This image is of a book cover, and the copyright for it is most likely owned either by the artist who created the cover or the publisher of the book. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of book covers to illustrate an article discussing the book in question on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Other use of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information. To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline, as well as the source of the work and copyright information. Please include in your fair use rationale details of the particular edition (publisher, market & year of publication) of the edition you have used, and also acknowledge any cover artist if such artist is acknowledged in that edition's frontmatter. If the book cover is in the public domain (see Wikipedia:Public domain), then use the appropriate public domain tag rather than this one.

This head shot of Sri Chinmoy is from the back cover of Sri Chinmoy's book The Wings of Joy which is cited by title in the Sri Chinmoy article, referenced by author, title and publisher, and quoted in some versions.

Chinmoy, Sri. The Wings of Joy. New York: Simon & Schuster, 1997.

The image also appears at the following URL:

Retrieved 9 Feb. 2007.

The latter is a site promoting the Blue Bird Café, a New Zealand eatery apparently run by students of Sri Chinmoy. Neither the book nor the web site lists a credit for the photo.

This head shot appears to be promotional in nature. It is believed that use of a low resolution version (150px x 219px) in an encyclopedia-style article about Sri Chinmoy originating on Wikipedia and discussing his published works would be consistent with principles of Fair Use, and would be unlikely to be objected to by either the subject, photographer, or book publisher.

Upon information and belief, most photos of Sri Chinmoy not otherwise credited are taken by his students and are held in copyright by Sri Chinmoy Centre. This photo is being listed in good faith as copyright 1997 Sri Chinmoy Centre.

The composition and framing of this head shot is believed to be ideal as the lead photo for a biographical article, and in the opinion of the uploader, no free substitute may be found which would accomplish the same purpose.
