[edit] Photographer's permission?

I'd like to use some photos I found on Flickr and adapt them to use in the article Bike trials riding. The photos are copyrighted. What's the best way to obtain permission to use these?

I left a message on the photographer's FlickrMail asking if he would like to contribute the photos to Wikipedia. I explained about setting a Creative Commons License. Is there another way? I want to make this as easy and non-intimidating as possible for the photographer, so he'll be more likely to agree.

I would think you are doing the right thing in this case. As long as you have permission from the original photographer, then they can be uploaded to Wikipedia as long as you tag them correctly (I am currently unsure as to the correct tag, though). Ryūlóng 23:56, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
