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.

from Wikipedia in New Book
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

restoration
uncredited. The one Wired ran uncredited was the San

of 1906.

Wired gives sole credit to the original source:

Here's my restoration:

The unrestored version:

Any suggestions what to do about this?

Credit for the original, or credit for the restoration?
