Use of Military emblems vs copyright

The use of national emblems is typically subject to certain restrictions outside the scope of copyright law designed to prevent disparaging or confusing uses and to avoid misrepresentations. Using a national emblem in a context where the display of the emblem might be construed to falsely imply an official endorsement is also generally forbidden.

Any such usage restrictions are beyond copyright law, though. They are designed to prevent fraudulent abuses of emblems, in particular to prevent using them to imply an affiliation with or an endorsement by an official body when there is no such affiliation or endorsement. Merely showing such emblems (for instance, in a Wikipedia article) is, in our understanding, not subject to such emblem or insignia laws.

Battle of Quifangondo

Howzit BoonDock,

I just opened a peer review for Battle of Quifangondo, which I'm hoping to bump up to GA status in the near future. I thought that you, as a frequent fellow contributor to South African milhist-related articles, might be interested. Any thoughts and/or constructive criticism would be much appreciated! Thanks, --Katangais (talk) 01:17, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

Will take a look. Thanks for the heads up! BoonDock (talk) 03:42, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
