* If there is a copyright symbol © on the part of work shown, it needs to be made clear that there is more of the work, or it looks like ''we're'' claiming the copyright. Which would be bad.
* If there is a copyright symbol © on the work shown, and there isn't any more to that work -- a single-panel comic, for example -- we can't use it at all. It is not an excerpt. It is the whole thing.
* If there is a copyright symbol © on the work, we can't remove it. That wouldn't be honest, or fair. We can show a part of the work that doesn't have the copyright symbol, though, and it is preferable to do so. Just clipping off and showing the part of an image that doesn't have the symbol is not an excerpt.

* The absence of an © symbol does not mean the work isn't copyrighted! In most First World countries (and we're hosted in one), a work becomes copyrighted automatically when it's created and remains so unless it's old enough to be in the PublicDomain, has been purposely released to the public domain, or has been released under a "copyleft" license such as [[http://www.creativecommons.org Creative Commons]].
