Revision as of 12:13, 4 February 2020
Having had a careful read of Wikipedia's guidance, I have concluded it is acceptable to use individual screenshots from film and TV productions on a 'fair use' basis to allow better understanding and critical discussion and so on, in a similar manner to film posters. The same approach is taken on sites such as ReelStreets.Com (which includes clips from a number of SVRSevern Valley Railway films), whose own terms can be found here.
I have therefore drafted some terms as used in this screenshot. Any thoughts on changes to wording, or indeed on the validity of using these would be welcome.--Robin (talk) 17:36, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
