Fire Adapted Communities
Hi there!

Firstly: I checked that PDF document, and it is a nice picture!

I am confident that the document itself can be considered a reliable source, and that means we could add appropriate facts from it to the article (or other articles) - whilst being careful not to give undue weight to the claims of that one institution.

It will, however, be difficult (if not impossible) to use the actual picture under 'fair use of a copyright image") - the problem being criterion 1, only where no free equivalent is available, or could be created, that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose. It would be possible for another person to create a free imagine which conveyed the same information; the fact that no other exists is not sufficient justification.

I say "difficult if not impossible" because I freely admit, I am not 100% certain. I could investigate further, and try to get more opinions. However, depending on your consideration of the next part, that might become moot;

I see another user has now replied here on the helpdesk, giving advise with regards to the option of licencing the image under Creative Commons. That is certainly the simplest solution - but of course it is entirely up to your institution to decide if they can do so.

The licence we use, mostly, is "CC-BY-SA", and that means we would attribute the image (say who it was BY), and that all subsequent copies would have to include the same conditions and attribution (Share Alike). It does, however, let anybody use it for any purpose; Wikipedia is supposed to be "free".

If you decide to go down that route (fully appraised of the licence), I can certainly help with the process - and otherwise, I'll be happy to advise further.

If you reply, right here, I will see it - I'll keep checking back on this page.

 * Grantnejedlo, I have kept checking here, but have not heard from you.


 * I will therefore stop watching this page.
