Subject: Use some of your thesis pictures on Wikipedia?
Hi, Prof. Burge!
I tried to look up 'null corrector' on Wikipedia, and noticed it had no entry. So I wrote one ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_corrector ), but it would be much better with diagrams. Would it be possible to put some of the diagrams from your thesis on Wikipedia? Using the usual license, this means that anyone can use them for anything they want, as long as they give you credit for the original.
It's easy enough to clip the diagrams from your on-line thesis, so if you want I can do the mechanics, if you are willing to grant permission to do this.
I hope you are willing to do this - I think Wikipedia is a great resource! (and of course you can edit the article, too!)
to share – to copy, distribute and transmit the work
to remix – to adapt the work
Under the following conditions:
attribution – You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the licence, and indicate if changes were made. You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use.
