I Carlosguitar contacted Jon Lucas by Flickr email:

Dear Mr. Lucas

I am one of the many volunteer editors of Wikipedia (wikipedia.org), a Web-based collaboration.

I respectfully request your permission to use your excellent image of Daniel Ilabaca, at www.flickr.com/photos/jonlucas/204150906/ as Wikipedia content. Wikipedia is a multilingual open-content encyclopedia that strives for complete and reliable content. Volunteers from around the world collaboratively create content, but Parkour article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkour) depends upon photography, such as yours, to clearly illustrate that content.

It is to that noble end that I make this request. However, for Wikipedia to use your material, you must agree to the GNU Free Documentation License (often referred to as the GNU-FDL, or GFDL). In essence, the GFDL allows you to retain the copyright and authorship of your work, but grants permission for others to use, copy, and share your materials freely, and even potentially use them commercially, so long as they do not try to claim the copyright themselves, or try to prevent others from using or copying them freely (e.g., "share-alike"). You can read the complete license at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_the_GNU_Free_Documentation_License

If you grant permission for use, we will credit you for your work, and state that it is used with your permission, and provide a link back to your Flickr account (http://www.flickr.com/photos/jonlucas/) or website

I sincerely appreciate your consideration of this matter. Please advise your decision of this request, by responding this message. I will gratefully forward it to the Wikimedia Foundation.

Thank you, and I hope you will consider accepting this request.

Sincerely,

Carlos Roberto administrator of Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Carlosguitar)

That's shockingly poor use of a box junction. Flowerparty 20:02, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
