Hello, I'm one of the thousands of volunteer editors at the English-language Wikipedia, where I write articles about various musical topics. I just came across your very nice photo of the Icelandic musical instrument "langspil" ( www.flickr.com/photos/ania-cd/2357509203/ ) and I see that we don't yet have a good photo of this instrument at the Wikipedia article about it.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langspil

I wonder if you might consider allowing your photo to be uploaded to that Wikipedia article, as the representative photo for this instrument. I think it would serve a great educational purpose.

As per Wikipedia's policies, the photo would need to be released under a "free" license such as the Creative Commons, meaning that the photo could be reused by anyone for any reason (including educational, commercial, or any other use), although it would be specified that credit is given to you and a link made to your Flickr page. Wikipedia is now the eighth most visited website in the world, so you'd probably get a lot of views.

To see how I uploaded another photo that a Flickr user gave their permission to use, here (just click on the photo to see the credit and permission):

Would you please let me know if you'd be amenable to this? Thank you, and all the best,

Hi,

Thank you for your letter. Of course I agree, although I don´t consider my photos to be especially good, but if I can help - that´s great. So you are welcome to use it in Wikipedia. By the way - this langspil comes from the museum in Skogar (Skogasafn).

With kind regards,

Ania W.
