Hi

I'm keeping a friendly eye on the Wikipedia article on Le Tigre. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Tigre

The following images appear in the discography in the article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Le_Tigre_album.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Feminist_Sweepstakes.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:This_Island.jpg with the latter also appearing in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johanna_Fateman http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JD_Samson http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_Island

Recently Wikipedia have tightened up their policy on fair use of 'non-free' images. Under the new scheme the This Island image might survive as it identifies the subjects of the various articles, and is thus loosely pertinent to critical commentary, but the other two will likely get deleted once their use comes under scrutiny. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:NFC#Non-free_image_use_in_list_articles

Perhaps you'd like to release them under a free licence e.g. creative commons? You could specify that it only applies to the low resolution versions in question. (It's my guess that the images are yours rather than the respective labels.) CC means that it can be re-used commercially but only under the same (share-alike) licence.

I've attached a form of consent that you could consider, You can do a seperate one for each image or just pluralize. Return it to me and I'll put it through channels.
