Jordan, these are good links to Wikipedia policies, procedures, conventions (lots of those!), and resources. Please take a quick look at the "five pillars", and also the WP:NPOV ("neutral point of view"). And remember to sign your Talk page posts with the "four tildes". ~ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 21:00, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:The Evolution of Cooperation by Axelrod Revised Edition Cover Image.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:The Evolution of Cooperation by Axelrod Revised Edition Cover Image.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 05:33, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

Jordan: what this means is that there are some copyright problems with the image you uploaded. Wikipedia has some very strict rules on what kinds of images can be used. If they are not fully "free" (excluding everything with a non-commercial, educational, or personal-use only restriction) they generally cannot be used. There is a special provision for "non-free" images, but these are limited to certain uses, and require special justification. Unless and until you are ready to dive into such intricacies I recommend that you stick with the entirely free stuff. Unfortunately, this probably eliminates the book cover you have in mind. It would be simplest (and easiest all around) if you could stay with the existing book cover image. ~ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 21:30, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
