Dear Mr. Crook,
I am one of the many volunteer editors of Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page), a web-based collaborative encyclopedia. Wikipedia now has over 1 million reference articles freely available on-line.
I respectfully request your assistance to obtain a photo of the Peter J. Cutino Award, and for permission to use this as Wikipedia content. The immediate use of this image would be to illustrate a topic that I am editing on Wikipedia, regarding the Cutino Award <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_J._Cutino_Award>.
Wikipedia is multilingual open-content encyclopedia that strives for complete and reliable content. Volunteers from around the world collaboratively create content, but Wikipedia depends upon photos, such as yours, to clearly illustrate that content.
It is to that noble end that I make this request. However, for Wikipedia to use your material, you must agree to the GNU Free Documentation License (often referred to as the GNU-FDL, or GFDL). In essence, the GFDL allows you to retain the copyright and authorship of your work, but grants permission for others to use, copy, and share your materials freely, and even potentially use them commercially, so long as they do not try to claim the copyright themselves, or try to prevent others from using or copying them freely (e.g., "share-alike"). You can read the complete license at <http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text of the GFDL>.
If you grant permission for use, we will credit your organization for your work, state that it is used with your permission, and provide a link back to your website. Wikipedia is becoming a frequent on-line reference for students, researchers, and media outlets worldwide, so this may enhance recognition of the Cutino Award.
I sincerely appreciate your consideration of this matter. Please advise your decision on this request by email and I will gratefully forward it to the Wikimedia Foundation.
If you agree, please email a jpg file of the award to the address below.
I hope you will consider accepting this request.
Sincerely,
John Ryan ryanjoedit@mac.com <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Ryanjo>
