There are some example letters on Wikipedia which do a good job of explaining the implications of a CC-BY-SA licence but from a quick read they don't seem to make a good case for why people should donate image.RichardOn 23 February 2016 at 16:29, Katherine Bavage <katherine.bavage@gmail.com> wrote:Hi all,Sorry if this is something I really ought to know :/Is there a standard form of words - either from OTRS wiki or that you have used - that is helpful when you are contacting organisations or individuals to ask for image donations?Context: I would like to contact artists to ask if they have image shots they would be prepared to donate to commons to support creation of articles about them.Problem: I need to be able to say a) What the benefit of donating the image is to them and to us b) what the consequences of CC-BY-SA donation are in terms of that images use for a non expert.
Also it would help if anyone can share the easiest process for managing uploading when you don't hold the copyright but the image donor does (but they are a non-expert/non editor)
Thank you!
