Begin forwarded message: Date: Wed, 3 Apr 2013 13:18:33 +0300 From: Shlomi Fish <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: [Christina Grimmie] Please provide a photo of Ms. Grimmie under a licence suitable for Wikimedia Projects ( e.g: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christina_Grimmie ) Dear sirs or madams, I am an editor of the English wikipedia and other wikimedia projects and currently we have this page about Ms. Christina Grimmie: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christina_Grimmie ( Christina is my favourite YouTube artist, and Team Grimmie rocks! ) However, one thing lacking from there is a photograph, and I was unable to find any good photograph of Ms. Grimmie under a suitable licence (e.g: Creative Commons CC-by-sa, CC-by, Public Domain, etc.) on Flickr. I know some localised wikipedias (where Ms. Grimmie also has some presence - see the translations) require photos to be under a liberal licence). If you, or Ms. Grimmie can provide us with a good, representable photo of her, that would be a great gesture and a wonderful way to promote her in Wikimedia projects and other collaborative projects such as http://wikia.com/ , and other people and I would be incredibly grateful for that. I am not a lawyer (IANAL) but I think that you can license a lower resolution version of the photo under a liberal licence, and keep the original photo as "All-Rights-Reserved". It can also be a one-off photo dedicated for Wikipedia. Please let me know of what you think. Best regards, Shlomi Fish P.S: I realise the page about Ms. Grimmie could use more work, and is somewhat out-of-date, but I'd like to tackle one issue at a time. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Shlomi Fish http://www.shlomifish.org/ Perl Humour - http://perl-begin.org/humour/ Why can’t we ever attempt to solve a problem in this country without having a “War” on it? -- Rich Thomson, talk.politics.misc Please reply to list if it's a mailing list post - http://shlom.in/reply . -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Shlomi Fish http://www.shlomifish.org/ List of Networking Clients - http://shlom.in/net-clients Chuck Norris doesn’t commit changes, the changes commit for him. — Araujo Please reply to list if it's a mailing list post - http://shlom.in/reply . _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
