FOR INFROGMATION,
I am writing to enquire if it might be possible for us to borrow the copyright-free image of ENRICO CARUSO used in the Wikipedia website to use in one of our books on Bob Dylan - a part of the INSPIRATIONS series.
Essential is a British packager based in London. We work regularly with many of the major UK publishers (Cassell, Orion, Harper Collins) and are working with Penguin, Reader's Digest, Sterling, Barnes and Noble, Motorbooks and Andrews McMeel in the USA. We produce mainly illustrated non-fiction books in the fields of pop-culture, health and well-being, humour and gifts - some with kits.
One of our books - the Hippie book - was on the New York Times best-seller list recently.
Should it be possible for us to use your image, we would be extremely grateful for your help, which will be duly credited in the book. And if it is possible, we would be extremely grateful if you would allow us to borrow a high-resolution copy of the image, for reasons of reproduction quality.
Many thanks, ESSENTIAL WORKS.
- As a pre 1921 image it is Public Domain under US law, so for US uses it's free for the taking. I have no info on international copyright; the original publicity photo in my collection has no text. If you want a higher resolution scan email me; an email can be found on my user/talk page. That (or leaving a message on my talk page) is the usual way to contact users here, please don't create new pages like this, thanks. -- Infrogmation 05:26, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] history articles on wikipedia?
Hello, I’m an historian working at the Center for History and New Media at George Mason University (http://chnm.gmu.edu/) and we are very interested in digital historical works, including the writing of history on Wikipedia. We’d like to talk to people about their experiences working on articles in Wikipedia, in connection with a larger project on the history of the free and open source software movement. Would you be willing to talk with us about your involvement, either by phone, a/v chat, IM, or email? This could be as lengthy or brief a conversation as you wish.
Thanks for your consideration.
