As a brief aside, when you sign up at wired, they send you a verification email. In that verification email... they paste your password. Bizarre. You'd think something like "Wired" would be a bit more security conscious than to do that.

Well, taking a first stab at this. Here's my letter to Wired: ----
Per the recent New York Times admission that one of your editors plagiarized content from Wikipedia uncredited, I respectfully request credit for media work of mine that Wired has reproduced without credit.
http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/06/24/editor-of-wired-apologizes-...
This reproduces a photograph in the digitally restored version I generated through painstaking restoration:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sfearthquake3b.jpg
My restoration of this image was selected as a "featured picture", which designates Wikipedia's best content. It ran on Wikipedia's main page on 16 March 2008: one month before your uncredited reproduction of my volunteer labor.
I seek no compensation other than credit. Please post credit as follows: "Restoration by Lise Broer (Durova)".
Thank you very much,
Lise Broer
San Diego, California.

Slight correction. It was Time Magazine that ran my Brandeis
restoration
uncredited. The one Wired ran uncredited was the San Francisco
Earthquake
of 1906.

Wired gives sole credit to the original source: *Image: H.D. Chadwick/National Archives and Records Administration* *

Here's my restoration: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sfearthquake3b.jpg
The unrestored version: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sfearthquake3.jpg
Any suggestions what to do about this?

Wired also used one of my featured picture restorations without
credit.
Credit for the original, or credit for the restoration?
