Hi! Thanks for clearing the info issue on my image of the Phonograph slip ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonograph_cylinder). I'm a beginner when it comes to pic's on Wikipedia, and to boot, the English uploading site differs from the Swedish, which i don't master either, but at least can deal with! I also notet that you are the contributor of the slip pic already in that article. My addition was done because my slip is in better condition. I own only two cylinders, but am apparently lucky in the slip dept!

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.
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.

Hi, I'm helping my parents with an updated version of their historical guide to New Orleans (New Orleans, A City Named Desire - published in 2004) and we're hoping to use two of your photos of the post Katrina aftermath, specifically "Low9JustAintRight1" and "NoBodiesInHere". I wanted to confirm that this is ok with you, under the CC Attribution 2.5 license. We will credit you in the book, either as "Infrogmation" or under your real name if you would care to send it. My family currently lives in Mexico but I was born in New Orleans, and my parents lived there for over 20 years, publishing the annual "New Orleans Vignette". Thanks, Ashley Fell

Howdy,
I'm the guy who uploaded the pic of the Lower 9 after Katrina (I'm also a NOLA native, in Europe since 1992).
I'm writing you to ask where you got the pictures of Lincoln Beach. Is that lot at Crowder and Hayne? Somewhere else? You can reach me at my gmail address with the alias petiteplanete or just write back here. I'll be in NOLA again from Nov 8-15 if you want to have coffee.

Hey, the pic is
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:9th_Ward_post-Katrina.JPG. I used to be SixInfo, but I changed my alias so that it matches my work alias.
Thanks for the response -- in some subsequent research I did yesterday after writing you, I believe I found the lot -- it is almost at the junction of Hayne and Paris. The descriptions online misled me by saying that the lot was somewhere between Little Woods and the Lakeside Airport, which is rather a long stretch. (It's not really near the Airport at all...)
Anyway, I'll see whether I can get some safe pictures of the place. I sure would like to go back about 50 years and see what it looked like -- there do not seem to be any contemporary pictures of the park online, though you can find numerous pictures of the old Pontchartrain Park (including a great video of the roller coaster from '82!). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Petiteplanete ( talk • contribs) 09:18, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Hello Infrogmation. Just to let you know, we lowered the Service Awards edit count requirements, and this will change your eligibility for the next level.
On June 16, 2012, you will be eligible to become a Sovereign Editor (or Redoubtable Togneme). You already have enough edits (we lowered the requirement from 250,000 (!) edits to a more reasonable 60,000, which you already have).
Congratulations (a year and bit early). You will probably be the first Sovereign Editor, or one a very few. Allow me to say: wow. Your service is mind-blowingly impressive, and thank you for your extremely numerous contributions. I have, in the course of my varied career on the Wikipedia, had the opportunity to correspond with an actual Baronet, but never with a Togneme, which I would consider to be higher level of aristocracy.

I'm the editor of the blog Popular Logistics which is about disaster risk and its relationship to other issues (put briefly, we're trying to demonstrate that a "disaster" is something preventable or mitigatable which can't be disconnected from other issues - the distribution of wealth, environmental policy, health policy). At the moment, I'm putting together a series of images of flood control infrastructure - just images for the moment - while we try to cover flood issues on a day-to-day basis. We're a small group, and we certainly haven't done all we'd like on water policy of all kinds. I read what you had to say about the use of your images - I understand the spirit, I think - but not the letter. So - (1) would you mind this use? and (2) If not, how would you like the work to be credited? Also - any suggestions you have about sources of current information about NOLA, particularly rebuilding, recovery, and current planning and risk management would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance for your time - and thanks for all the brilliant Wiki work.

You are right to say sheesh, while my grandfather must have died on some particular day in december, unless he was the messiah and rose again, though i have never met him as i was born in eighty two.
