Reviewing requests

If you are an experienced editor, then you can help out by reviewing requests. Make sure you're familiar with Wikipedia's policies on non-free content (or simplified version). Learn about Wikipedia's various copyright tags. Read the guide on how to review file upload requests. Note that this page's editnotice contains an expandable cheat sheet with all the templates used in reviewing requests. After uploading the file tag its talk page with {{subst:WPAFCF}}. Remember to subst all templates. Notify the requester at their talk page using {{subst:ffu talk}} ~~~~ whenever you act on their request. You are responsible for anything you upload, so make sure you are comfortable that the file satisfies Wikipedia's policies first. If the file is non-free, then you must insert the file in the appropriate article right away in order to comply with the non-free content criteria.

My personal opinion is that this fails WP:NFCC#8; no statement about the book needs to be accompanied by a picture of its cover to be understood. And since the article is about the person, not the book, a picture of the book cannot be used to identify the topic (for which purpose a portrait already exists). – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 20:27, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

We typically allow the coverpage of the first English publication of a work. However, here the first publication is in a magazine and the image replicates to a substantial extent the text of the story. I don't think this will pass WP:NFCC#8 or WP:NFCC#3. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 20:33, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
