File:HTBAGS.jpg
Delete. This title image is of very low quality, and should probably be replaced with plain text. Also, the Harry Potter-esque font used may be copyrighted.--Aleron235 01:59, 30 January 2006 (UTC)


 * There is no image at that location, and I see nothing in the deletion log for Image:HTBAGS.JPG. --Kernigh 00:07, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that, badly formed link.--Aleron235 20:21, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep: For book title I think its cute and good! The low quality is probably to save on precious wikibook server space. Restricting artistic endevours will only put us into a spinning vertigo of encouraging boaring authors and punishing creative ones. I also fail to see why we should delete an image that seems to be working fairly well. --72.57.8.2I5 02:57, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Wikibooks has no such restrictions on image resolution. Quoting Wikipedia:Image use policy: Upload a high-resolution version of your image whenever possible MediaWiki accepts images up to 20 MB in size. Do not scale down the image yourself, as scaled-down images may be of limited use in the future.--Konstable 00:01, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
 * This wiki has its own policy, and does not use Wikipedia policy (though it copies Wikipedia policy in some cases). --Kernigh 02:57, 19 February 2006 (UTC) But in this case the policy can be the same, because we use the same servers as Wikipedia. --Kernigh 06:38, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep: Copyright status for fonts is a tricky issue, and I've seen court opinions that go both ways, affirming and denying copyright status to the font information. And both by SCOTUS no less.  The philosophy was that information has to be fixed to some sort of character formation, and that the font issuer can't charge royalties for the use of that font as a means to restrict the flow of information.  So in this sense a specific implementation (writing the words for "How to become a good student", for example) can't be copyrighted by the font designer but rather by the person who fixed the fonts down.  Fonts can be copyrighted, however, if you try to show every letter of the alphabet and attempt to sell the font as a whole.  That is not the case for this example.  That doesn't stop font designers from trying to assert copyright, however, in every possible situation even if they are going to lose if it went to court.  --Rob Horning 14:43, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep: I think it's a nice title, better than plain text. I see no reason for it to be deleted.--Konstable 00:01, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
