I'm forwarding this for broader input - I'm really not sure what is required.
Please advise:

Subject: [WLM-US] Question Regarding Wikipedia Takes America

Hi!  I am thinking about organizing a Wikipedia Takes America project in my city, and I
have a question.  I've looked through the National Register of Historic Places for the
sites in my city/county that do not yet have photos, and I've come across a few that I
know will be a problem.  One is our Federal Building and the others are private homes.  Do
you have any advice as to how to go about getting permission to photograph these
buildings?  I would assume we could simply ask the permission of the homeowner and perhaps
direct them to the Wikipedia site for more information on the project in the case of the
private homes, but is it even possible to photograph a Federal Building these days without
government or press credentials?

Thanks,

Pat Carey
Rochester, NY
