Dear Coach Wigo:

I am one of the many volunteer editors of Wikipedia (wikipedia.org), a Web-based collaboration.

I respectfully request your permission to use your photo (attached) from the UCSB website , as Wikipedia content. The immediate use of this image would be to illustrate a topic on Wikipedia outlining your career and contributions to US water polo .

Wikipedia is multilingual open-content encyclopedia that strives for complete and reliable content. Volunteers from around the world collaboratively create content, but Wikipedia depends upon photos, such as yours, to clearly illustrate that content.

It is to that noble end that I make this request. However, for Wikipedia to use your material, you must agree to the GNU Free Documentation License (often referred to as the GNU-FDL, or GFDL). In essence, the GFDL allows you to retain the copyright and authorship of your work, but grants permission for others to use, copy, and  share your materials freely, and even potentially use them commercially, so long as they do not try to claim the copyright  themselves, or try to prevent others from using or copying them freely (e.g., "share-alike"). You can read the complete license at "wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text of the GFDL".

If you grant permission for use, we will credit you for your work, state that it is used with your permission, and provide a link back to your website.

I sincerely appreciate your consideration of this matter. Please advise your decision of this request by email and I will gratefully forward it to the Wikimedia Foundation.

I hope you will consider accepting this request.

Sincerely,

John Ryan
