I suspect that, if we end up in the situation where we've improved a given article as much as possible given the extra information they're providing (and particularly if we go a step further than this and incorporate sources that they haven't encountered or haven't managed to utilise), and if a picture of the ship is an obvious gap in the coverage of a particular ship, then they will be amenable to this possibility. Given that they're making all of this information freely available to us under our preferred license, then we really need to prove that we can use it (and share it) as effectively as possible before they give us more content...
Thanks, Mike

I'm very pleased to say that our long-planned collaboration with the National Maritime Museum is now happening. They have released a lot of info from their internal research on Royal Navy warships on their website: http://www.nmm.ac.uk/researchers/research-areas-and-projects/warship-histori... (it says CC-BY-NC but the NC bit is a typo and will soon be corrected)
I've set up a project page for this on-wiki, please do have a look and join in :-) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/NMM Thanks Chris
Good. Any chance of them letting us take some pics of their ship models?
