Notice to mechanistically minded administrators heading this way
Hi people, this is just to remind you that all this mush is overseen by a thinking feeling being. Creators of these images allow us to use their images because I take the trouble to communicate with them. Please take the trouble to write a couple of words from your own being if I'm a bit slow and busy elsewhere at times to prioritise presentation of the evidence. This would generate much more positive response than slapping notices generated by machines in my face. Especially if you are so fearful you operate from an IP address near Hamburg! Check out the context - is this an abuser from an IP address posting this stuff or an editor with a track record? Many thanks, Trev M.

Hi, Trev:

I would love it if you used my images for the wikipedia pages. The license does extend to them, and a link back would be much appreciated. I have quite a few photos of poses that I haven't published yet, so do let me know if there's something you need that you don't see on the site.

If there's anything else I can help with, please don't hesitate to ask.

Best, Witold

Message: Hi, I note your pages have a http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ license. Could you clarify whether this extends to the images of the yoga postures? I am currently improving the yoga asanas section of wikipedia [which is currently in need of it, despite receiving a lot of traffic], and looking for good quality, accurate images. Any image use is, if required by the license, of course attributed to the licensee, in the form of a link on the image enlargement page. Many thanks, Trev M.

Subject: Yoga images Date: 9th June, 2010 Hi Deja, can I have explicit permission to use a yoga image of yours on         wikipedia please - and a statement that you took the pic? http://www.flickr.com/photos/dejahthoris/152200527/sizes/o/ I'd probably reduce the saturation and contrast on the background. Wikipedia insists that images on it have to be licensed for any use, whereas the flikr license is non-commercial. Not that anyone is likely to use it         commercially of course! My regularly checked email is wikipedia AT wavesculptor.com Iif you have any more good examples of yoga positions you might like to         suggest, I may be able to use them too. I'd put links next to any image I use back to a site of your choice, if not flikr. All the best, Trev

Trev :)

Very very cool.

thank you so much for taking the time to answer me :)

I very much appreciate it.

Yes, you may use my images, and would love the site http://elsiesyogakula.com to be the link (not the wordpress.com that shows up in the address bar as I hope to move to a self hosted site soon!)

Thank you!

I'm one of many people who edit Wikipedia (anyone can, if they have the time and will to learn the background), and because I have a long interest in Yoga, I naturally want to make sure the Yoga section is in good shape. There are many articles on Yoga at Wikipedia: pages on the different kinds of yoga, and a long rambling page about the mythological background, but very little GOOD "encyclopedic" information about the Asanas. Â So I'm trying to build a page or pages covering most of the well known Asanas, with a good, accurate photo or photos of each. Â Even the photos that people have previously uploaded are terrible: small images, computer-generated images, strange angles, doubtful postures, postures indistinguishable under clothes, very strange looking people, and not least, images pinched from other web sites without asking for permission. So it's one of my missions to get together photos of a good size and technical quality, that are pleasant to look at, show the postures accurately, are from a "reliable source" - like you as an accredited yoga teacher who says who your teachers are etcâ€“, and which the owner of the photos gives clear permission that the photos may be used. If they are uploaded to the Wikipedia media server, they are available to anyone via Wikipedia, but with the proviso - if required by the maker of the photo - that they be credited. Each image has an associated page with all this information which comes up, when anyone clicks on a small image in the encylopedia. So, for instance, if someone were looking at       my page on Yoga Asanas, and saw a thumbnail image of yours illustrating a pose, and clicked on it, they would get a larger Â image with details of who made the photo, who put it        there and when, and what it is about etc. Â So they could be available for public use by anyone, who should in turn credit you, as owner of the work, and whom you can require by        law to do this, but I imagine your images will primarily be looked at by people studying Asanas on Wikipedia. You could have a contact address on the page or not â€“ or a link to       you website - whichever you chose. Hope that helps. Anything else you'd like to know, please ask.
