Commons:WikiProject Permission requests/Header
Welcome to WikiProject Permission requests!
We are volunteers dedicated to the task of requesting permission from copyright holders for their works to be used under a license compatible with Commons. See also Commons:Volunteer Response Team.
To maximize gain, we concentrate on outstanding works that are not yet available under a free license, but for which there is a good chance that the author might relicense them when being told about our project.
If you know of any such works, please post a message here containing, at the very least:
- A hyperlink to the work
- The name of the author, along with his contact information (email)
- Why you think that the work is exceptional
- Why you think that the author might relicense it
- Your signature
Better yet, join the permission requests team! This is totally informal and requires no special skills. If you are wondering how to write a convincing permission request e-mail, this page might help you.
