Subject: Permit for using images from foto-foto.com for Wikipedia
Dear foto-foto.com admin (David Armstrong?),
I came across your site while browsing the Internet. Some of the
images there will be very useful to put in Indonesian Wikipedia [1].
I've read the copyright information regarding usages of photos from
your site [2], and I think that Wikipedia [3] complies with the
definition of allowed use of you images.
Although we need images badly to enhance articles that we have on
Wikipedia, we have strict rules for using images found on the net [4].
Please inform me whether we really are comply to the terms of your
images.
Thank you.

Hello Ivan
I am happy for you to use the images from my website foto-foto.com
in Wikipedia.
If possible please label each image used that the image comes from
www.foto-foto.com with a link if possible. I hope more people can visit
my site and use the free images of Indonesia. I already have about 350
visitors per day.
I am studying in Indonesia at the moment in East Java and have collected
thousands more images which I will put on my website in 2007 when I
return to Australia.
Best wishes
David

Hi David,
Thank you very much. Yes, we'll put link to your website as the
copyright holder of the images.
Success with your study. Semoga Anda berhasil mencapai apa yang Anda
cita-citakan. Kalau ada waktu, mungkin bisa melihat-lihat Wikipedia
Indonesia, atau bahkan ikut berpartisipasi? :)
Best regards, Ivan

Hello Ivan
I had a quick look at Wikipedia Indonesia and did a few searches.
I will have a closer look soon. It did appear that you already have
images from my website used in Wikipedia. They are not labeled as from
foto-foto.com though. Is it possible to label them all as from
foto-foto.com? Is that too big a task?
Best wishes
David

Hello David,
Thank you for dropping by.
Every image in Wikipedia is clickable to view the detailed information
of it. That's where we usually put the copyright information of that
particular image. Please see [1] (as an example) and click on the
Tuanku Imam Bonjol image which will bring you to [2].
I could also put the label directly under the image on page [1] as an
image title. If that's actually what you mean, I'll do that, and I'm
sorry for misunderstanding :)
Regards, IRL.

Hello again David,
I've just add source information directly on the article page (not
only on the image description page) for all images that I got from
foto-foto.com.
Sorry for the misunderstanding. For people that used to Wikipedia,
it's very common to click on the image to view larger version and see
the copyright information. But I do forgot but there are visitors that
are not used to that.
I really hope you understand. Don't let it damage your trust to me.
Thx, IRL.
