Geoheritage (journal) - cover image.

I scanned the front cover of my copy of issue 1.1 - and cut and pasted the copyright info from the cover of Geology (journal). It seems this is not good enough and the image will be deleted in a few days. Can someone help, please? My lo res scan is better than the tiny image on the journal web page! Thanks.

"Fair use" is not allowed on Commons, but it is allowed on enWP. See File:G2Bcover.jpg for an example. Note that only low-res images are allowed. You can use your scan, if it is too high-res, a bot will come by and reduce the resolution to an acceptable level. Hope this helps. --Randykitty (talk) 16:00, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Many thanks for the info and example - that indeed helps. I wait for the bot: I reduced the image to 27KB from the scan. If the bot rejects the image I'll come back to you! Or use the one on the journal web page. Calc-flinta (talk) 16:13, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, the bot came by and deleted it. So the image I could use is the one here: [1]https://www.springer.com/journal/12371/

I've downloaded it.

Geoheritage journal is contributed to and read internationally so I want to use an image that works on all WP. Calc-flinta (talk) 12:04, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the scan got deleted. Last night I tried again and uploaded a cover image taken from Geoheritage's website [2]https://www.springer.com/journal/12371/ and I've tried to add a copyright tag - magazine cover seems appropriate Template:Non-free magazine cover but cannot see how, despite the instructions. My edited version of the G2B cover info you kindly sent didn't work. Can you help, please? Calc-flinta (talk) 13:13, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like all is fine now. --Randykitty (talk) 14:12, 20 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Great, thanks! I'm now about to write an article about ProGEO - International Association for the Conservation of Geological Heritage - which 'owns' the Geoheritage journal. Is there a preferred format for WP articles about learned societies, please? Calc-flinta (talk) 21:35, 20 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
A friend has suggested this https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Organizations Wikipedia:WikiProject Organizations - is this the way to go, or is there a more specialised project? Calc-flinta (talk) 10:09, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
