The image might meet Wikipedia’s fair use policy. Please review the policy and make a judgment. We should be using as few fair use images as possible. The image itself should be

• as small as possible (usually not wider than 300 pixels),
• discussed directly in the article (for a good example, see The Persistence of Memory),
• critically important to the reader’s understanding of the article,
• not replaceable by a free image that could be created or found and
• not a screenshot used just to show what a person looks like (such as a screen capture from Terminator 2 to illustrate Arnold Schwarzenegger).

The image page must include a fair use rationale. You can use the following template, filling in all of the fields:

{{Fair use rationale
|Description= Title and brief description of the image.
|Source= Exact work from which this image is taken, e. g. the author, title,
year of publication and edition of a book, the URL of a website or
the name and year of release of a film.
|Portion= How much of the work are we using, such as one frame from a film
or an entire photograph at reduced resolution.
|Purpose= The role this image plays in the article where it is used.
|ResolutionReduced= Was the resolution reduced? E. g. yes, reduced from
720×480 DVD screenshot to 180×120.
|Replaceability= Reason why this image cannot ever be replaced by a free image.
|other_information= Optional, additional remarks, e. g.:
Permission was granted to Wikipedia for using this image.
