[WikiEN-l] [<>: A photo on Wikipedia]

How should I respond to such inquiries?

I think we should have (and probably already do?) a page written in
everyday language that says

"So, you want to use some of our content... here is what you need to
do."

Subject: A photo on Wikipedia

Dear Sirs,

there is a photo shown on a Wikipedia website, which my friends
would like to use in their publication:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:EDSA_Revolution_pic1.jpg

The photo is authored by a  Joey de Vera.

Unfortunately basing on the information given on the website I am
not able to trace Mr de Vera on the Internet.

You are kindly requested to tell me whom should we contact
to get a necessary permission to use the photo in our publication?

At the moment I am writing unofficially on behalf of a small
editors in Krakow, Poland. I am doing so only to get preliminary
information on the subject. However, after having received it further
negotiation would be taken over by competent officials from the
edition.

Hoping to hear from you soon
