Interesting point. Is the license okay? It uses parts of Wikipedia, shouldn't it therefor be a derivative licensed piece of art?

I regret that my comment was interpreted as an ad hominem attack, and I did not intend it that way. If I were attacking anything, it would be the knee-jerk assumption that the involvement of OTRS might somehow be helpful in any given situation. Again, I apologize for the confusion.

If he changes it there that's fine, if it looks like it should go to otrs for some reason, I will email him from there as verification. I'll let you know here if I hear anything from him. :) Judson [[User:Cohesion]] _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l

I will upload it later today and post the location here. If someone beats me to it, he would like a link to the flickr page and his website on the image description page "Please, link my blog ( www.paulthewineguy.com) instead flickr page (better both :-)" Judson [[:en:User:Cohesion]] _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
