This non-free media file has been set up with as small a version as possible, to comply with Wikipedia's non-free content policy and United States copyright law. The current resolution has been manually selected to achieve as small an image as possible without destroying the image content. According to Wikipedia's policy for non-free content, the amount of non-free work should be as little as possible. In particular, non-free media on Wikipedia should not be usable as substitutes for the original work. |
The image has been reduced to the smallest possible size (resolution) which does not destroy all legibility of the already degraded text. Jpg format is used to avoid the "blurring" of thumbnails inherent in Mediawiki/ImageMagick image processing as currently configured. |
Summary and non-free use rationale

This image consists of a low quality copy of a newspaper article included as an object illustration of a topic. It provides the reader with greater context and understanding of the topic and meets fair use criteria on the grounds that it is used in a limited set of circumstances. Specifically, it is limited to a single use in a relevant entry (Flatwoods monster), it includes only information that has been publicly available for several decades, and its quality falls below the threshold for commercial use. Therefore the creator will suffer no loss of IPR or income by its use. The specific image/contents have also been freely available to the public through various websites and archives for some time.
