Photographer's permission?
I'd like to use some photos I found on Flickr and adapt them to use in the article Bike trials riding. The photos are copyrighted. What's the best way to obtain permission to use these?

I left a message on the photographer's FlickrMail asking if he would like to contribute the photos to Wikipedia. I explained about setting a Creative Commons License. Is there another way? I want to make this as easy and non-intimidating as possible for the photographer, so he'll be more likely to agree.

 * I would think you are doing the right thing in this case. As long as you have permission from the original photographer, then they can be uploaded to Wikipedia as long as you tag them correctly (I am currently unsure as to the correct tag, though). Ryūlóng 23:56, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

capacitor plague
Hi XyKyWyKy, you are not aright, the electrolyte of an electrolytic capacitor with non solid electrolyte is the real functional cathodeof the capacitor. The second foil, called "cathode foil" (wrong term) is only the electrical contact to the electrolyte, the cathode. Otherwise the very thin dielectric layer Al2O3 would not fix the high capacity of an electrolytic capacitor. --Elcap (talk) 16:36, 1 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Elcap, not sure I understand, but I certainly believe you! Yesterday I was admiring the diagrams at the top of that section, and followed the links to view a selection of your impressive work. Left two "thanks" you may notice. Anyway please revert me or do whatever you feel is needed, you are the expert!

 * Hi XyKyWyKy, thanks for praising, for your understanding please see CDE introduction page 1:"The positive plate is the anode foil; the dielectric is the insulating aluminum oxide on the anode foil; the true negative plate is  the  conductive, liquid  electrolyte, and  the  cathode  foil connects  to  the  electrolyte".
