-----Message d'origine----- Subject:Wikipedia - Image request? From:XXX Date:3/23/2008 3:27 PM To:Info@FnHerstal.com De : XXX XXX [mailto:koalora@rogers.com] Envoyé : dimanche 23 mars 2008 20:28 À : Gaillard Isabelle Objet : Image request? Hi, I am an editor on English Wikipedia involved primarily with military history and firearms. We have recently completed several detailed articles about FN-designed firearms that your firm manufactures, including the FNC, FAL, CAL, MAG and MINIMI light machine gun. One problem we have encountered is the lack of quality photographic material available to illustrate our articles. Would your firm be kind enough to provide any images of the above listed designs? We are interested mainly in high-resolution side-view jpeg images on a white background, but any contribution would be welcome. The photos, if you did decide to release them to us would be uploaded under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported license and the source, author and link to your website would be provided. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Our pages receive millions of hits daily and Wikipedia is by far the most popular online resource for information on modern firearms, these images would also help create awareness of your product and company. Here are several of the articles in question: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FN_MINIMI http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FN_MAG http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FN_P90 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FN_FNC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FN_FAL I hope you find the information to be accurate, your help would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards, XXX XXX -----Reply----- Subject:Wikipedia - Image request? From:Anne.Devroye@fnherstal.com Date:3/27/2008 10:57 AM To:XXX Dear XXX, First of all, many thanks for referring to FN products on Wikipedia. This is highly appreciated. I am not in the office these days but I am asking my colleague, whose email address is indicated above, to send you jpeg pictures as you requested. As regards to the MINIMI machine gun, I am pleased to inform you that the famous MINIMI is now available in 7.62x51mm calibre also. This new weapon offers the advantage of a lightweight machine gun firing the powerful 7.62x51mm cartridge. I am sending you attached our leaflet and pictures of the four existing models. Hope this will meet your requirements, however, should you require any further information, please feel free to let me know.
