Do not move. Although the term World Book Day is used, the official name is World Book and Copyright Day, as per the UNESCO site.— Grstain 14:44, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
When did the copyright part get added? Has it anyrelation with piracy or something? --euyyn 00:14, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Wbd2006.gif

Image:Wbd2006.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Use of the WBD logo does constitute fair use, since it belongs to the UK World Book Day text and has been released for web use. But perhaps the person who uploaded it just didn't add the relevant info. However, it would be more appropriate to use the current (2008) logo. And the body text for UK world book Day (6 March 2008) needs updating and correcting. If I have time I'll get that started later today or tomorrow. The book list also needs updating.--Plad2 (talk) 17:00, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

I have now deleted the 2006 logo and added a version of the 2008 logo. I believe this constitutes fair use. WBD is a nationwide initiative to promote the pleasure of reading and the information about WBD and the logo are widely disseminated to provide the greatest possible awareness of the initiative.--Plad2 (talk) 14:46, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Create new page for WBD UK?

There is an argument for a separate page for World Book Day UK as it is a very different concept to the UNESCO WBD and Copyright Day. WBD UK was inspired by the UNESCO initiative but has become a nationwide promotion linking booksellers, publishers, teachers, librarians, all centred around the distribution of £1 tokens free to every Primary school aged children.

World Book Day UK is a registered charity with specific aims to promote literacy and the enjoyment of reading. I'll find the details and do some editing later.

There are two linked adult promotions during WBD UK Quick Reads the promotion of short specially written books for adult emergent readers and Spread The Word, which is designed to get adults talking aboiut books which might have been missed by publishers' hype and retailers promotions. All three initiatives will be highlighted in the British media this coming week.--Plad2 (talk) 15:03, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

NB, I'm still editing this page --Plad2 (talk) 14:46, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
