[edit]Dear Mr. / Ms. ___,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to request your permission to use your captivating photographs of [ARTISTS], which I came across on your Flickr account, for inclusion on Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons. As a respected online encyclopedia with millions of users worldwide, Wikipedia strives to provide accurate and reliable information on a variety of subjects. [ARTISTS] prominence as a singer has garnered significant attention, making her a prominent figure of interest within the music industry. Your exceptional photography beautifully captures her essence and would enrich the educational value and visual appeal of the article.
Your photos not only showcase [ARTISTS] talent but also contribute to fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of her artistry among Wikipedia readers. The use of your work will strictly adhere to Wikipedia's policy regarding copyright permissions, ensuring proper attribution and adherence to any additional terms you may require. Moreover, by granting permission for their use, you would contribute to the dissemination of knowledge while also gaining exposure as a talented photographer.
In terms of changing the license of the images (specifically the photos of [ARTISTS] here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/NO2/albums/72157718531433165), you can just change it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 license (CC-BY-SA), a license that permits others to reuse your image as long as they provide proper attribution to you. Your credit would be attached to the images, along with a link back to either your Flickr profile or another website of your choice. The contents of the CC-BY-SA license can be found at https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/.
If you are willing to contribute your image under the terms of CC-BY-SA, you can change the license by going to the images' Flickr page and under the "Taken" date, clicking on the currently applied license, and selecting "Attribution-ShareAlike". Wikipedia accepts only freely licensed pictures, like those with Creative Commons "Attribution" and "ShareAlike" licenses. Unfortunately, we cannot accept the "non-commercial" or "no derivatives" variants.
I kindly request that you consider allowing us to utilize your remarkable photographs on Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons. Please advise me if you require any further information or have specific guidelines pertaining to usage rights that need to be addressed. Thank you for considering my request.
Sincerely,
