== Fair use for Allotment system ==
The image Pikemen_musketeers.jpg is being linked here; though the picture is originally copyright I (-- Elisson • Talk) feel it is covered by fair use because:
- No free or public domain images are available that demonstrates the tactic as good as this drawing.
- The use of the picture in the article adds significantly to the understanding of why the allotment system was such a successful system.
- The drawing is relatively simple and very similar drawings ([1]) are available, lessening the uniqueness of this particular drawing.
- The use of the picture in the article does not lessen the value of the work in any way.
- The copy taken of the drawing is of inferior quality (even if large).
Fair use for Battalion (Sweden)
[edit]The image Pikemen_musketeers.jpg is being linked here; though the picture is originally copyright I (-- Malin Randström • Malin Randström) feel it is covered by fair use because:
- No free or public domain images are available that demonstrates the tactics of a battalion at battle during early 18th century as good as this drawing.
- The use of the picture in the article adds significantly to the understanding of why Swedish formations such as battalions still kept on using 6 meter longs pikes and the general tactics that was adopted by Gustav II Adolf. The article describes three known formations and the 6 men deep formation with two lines of pikers in the middle is an essential part to illustrate the effectiveness.
- The drawing is relatively simple and very similar drawings ([2]) are available, lessening the uniqueness of this particular drawing.
- The use of the picture in the article does not lessen the value of the work in any way.
- The copy taken of the drawing is of inferior quality (even if large).
