[edit] Wow!

Commodores, Harrington, Stasheff... A veritable triple play indeed! And a character named after you in the Honorverse, too. Sad that he didn't make it, though. Thanks for the art, and thanks for the cover image at treecat. I hope WP policy allows us to us it, not being GPL'd. I've posted a request, but some more knowledgable person will have to navigate those rocks and shoals. Thanks again. ww 07:34, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

I also asked at Wikipedia_talk:Image_use_policy/copyright#Please_recommend_the_best_tag, but so far the best thing I can recommend to David that fits his requirements is {{Non-free fair use in}} and {{withpermission}}. Fair use is not perfect, but it should allow us to use the images in the relevant articles. And yes - tnx for the treecat!--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 11:21, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
