Just reviewing this feedback there's a couple of specific points I want to
address.
- "Copy violations" for images. I am going to link to them in the
digital version and give an accreditation in the printed version.
- Links are included for the digital version. They will be added as
citations for the print version.
- With reference to "groups of MEPs" - Mike, this is pretty standard.
Each MEP represents either a political party or are independent. Each party
/ independent (in almost every case) is a part of a wider, cross-Europe
grouping. For example, UK Independence Party MEPs are mostly members of the
wider "Europe of Freedom and Democracy Group".
- Andy, your comment about the House of Commons is noted. I shall
replace that image.
- Mike, I'm pretty certain we have discussed the mention of start-ups
before. It is about noting that many different groups will benefit from
change. Competition, particularly in tech, is very important to Europe on a
global level. Noting that these changes benefit start-ups as well as other
groups is really speaking to them in a language they will understand and
respond to.
- Andy, your point about the reply address is sensible. We are now
establishing a new email address specifically for this project.
I will share a final version later in the week once the letter has been
posted. Thanks for the constructive viewpoints.

Sounds to me like using a non-individual email is
a good idea. I'll look
into getting something set up.

Wikimedia UK is writing to all 73 UK MEPs
regarding copyright
I would expect to see such a letter signed by the Chair of the board
rather than the CEx, or at least by both.
The reply address should be copyright@, or some other role-based name,
rather than an individual (no offence to Stevie; this is a general
point).
The FoP image pair is misleading, as the HoP would be out of
copyright; a modern building in the UK should be used, perhaps the
Welsh Assembly, or the Gherkin?
I suggest the reference to pictures taken in Strasbourg be expanded
slightly to mention the "WikiLovesParliaments" event; many MEPs
participated and will recall it, hopefully favourably.
Thanks for making these representations on our behalf,
