Other information |
Intellectual property owned by Clan/Family Buchan. The tartan clan/family association is noted at the Scottish Tartans Authority. non-free content policy , specifics follow:- A freely licensed equivalent (as in the photograph) could be taken, however the freeness of the tartan design as a clan/family symbol would still be at question. Replacing with another image would not remove the issue of the freeness of the symbol. Without a visual representation of the specific tartan, it would be difficult to describe the clan symbol textually - Use of this image does not replace the role of the original copyrighted media as per the source website (as an intended background image) - It is a low resolution image, and used in this clan article only once - This has previously been published online at the source web page - It is encyclopedic due to the historical nature of clan tartans and understanding how they represent that clan - It meets the Wikipedia media-specific fair use policy as it is a family symbol - Use of the clan tartan clearly increases a readers understanding of how the clan/family is visually represented in forms of dress. A textual description of the tartan would be difficult to visualise - Its use is restricted to the clan article only - The image page contains source attribution, a symbol copyright tag and the name of the article it is used in. |
