[edit] Documentation of permission
Christina,
I would like to request permission to publish the "Year of
Microcredit" logo in the contents of an encyclopedia article available
at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microcredit
While I believe I can use the logo by the terms of "fair use" as
outlined in U.S. copyright law, I am seeking permission in respect,
and to make sure that it is available to be viewed legally in any
country it may be viewed from.
Because of the nature of wikipedia, I cannot sign the waiver of
liability, but Im not sure that it applies anyways. Wikipedia is an
online, free and open encyclopedia edited by its online community
volunteers. More information about Wikipedia can be found at
www.wikipedia.org.
Thank you,
Andrew Somerville

Finally - I do not see where you would put the logo for the Year and a
question - would you also include a paragraph on the Year?

Christine,

As far as the logo is concerned, I would most likely place the logo
near the top of the article, as well as in the article stub
specifically about the Year(2). I would be willing to write a
paragraph about the year to integrate into the article and place the
logo nearby. Alternatively if you would like more control over the
matter you or I could integrate a paragraph prepared by UNDP.
Understand however that future editors may rearrange the article and
so the position in the article cannot be guaranteed except in that you
or I may again change it at any point.
Many Thanks,
Andrew Somerville

Dear Andy -
Thanks - that would be great - please go ahead - also the Economist will be
coming out with a survey next week (November 4 issue) on microfinance that
you might like to link to as well). Please go ahead and write a para on the
year - or you can cut and paste the opening para on our website -

Best Christina
