Dear Kartikbhai , Technically it may creat copyright issue , however if only book cover is displayed and not the content then it serves more as publicity of the book , so I do not think any author will challenge it . Rgds / Sanjay Pandya 2013/2/18 Konarak Ratnakar <konarak.11(a)gmail.com>

May be someone from us should have deep look into this issue. To me, it seems that if we put only the cover image, it should be ok... I wonder how Amazon / ebay deals with this issue.. At present just to avoid any consequences, let us refrain from breaking any law and at the same time check for the solution.

Dear Noopurben, Regarding images/files, Gujarati Wikipedia community has already decided its policy a long ago and no local file upload is allowed. We simply follow Wikimedia Common’s guidelines and only accept files that are uploaded on Wikimedia Commons. There was community consensus taken on this sometime in 2011-2012. Having said that, we do not allow fair use images on Gujarati Wikipedia.

If I recall correctly, uploading low resolution files of movie posters and book covers with the fair use tag is permissible on English Wikipedia. This also suggests that time may have come for Gujarati Wikipedia community to make and publicly document it's guidelines for content and policies.
