You do not need a permenant link, it already exists. Bernstein2291 22:26, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

First ask Dr. Feagin if you can release it into public domain. If he says no then release it in GFDL. Bernstein2291 03:32, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] image

you need to read over Wikipedia's Uploading Images Policy. After that you need to tag your image with the proper copyright tag. if it isnt properly tagged, its often deleted quickly. from there you have to determine if this photo is a Free license image or a Wikipedia:Fair Use image. after checking that out and properly tagging your image, let me know if you still have questions... that should clear things up and keep your image on Wikipedia.
