Dear mjemirzian

I found some nice images on flickr while doing research for the free 
online encyclopedia Wikipedia, and thought your images on George 
Galloway might be appropriate for inclusion in our article.

I am specifically seeking your permission to use this image:

I would like to include your image in this article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Galloway

Wikipedia (http://www.wikipedia.org/) is a free encyclopedia that is 
collaboratively edited by volunteers from around the world. Our goal is 
to create a comprehensive knowledge base that may be freely distributed 
and available at no charge.

Normally we ask permission for material to be used under the terms of 
the GNU Free Documentation License. This means that although you retain 
the copyright and authorship of your own work, you are granting 
permission for all others (not just Wikipedia) 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, nor 
prevent others from using or copying them freely.

You can read this license in full at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_the_GFDL

This license expressly protects creators from being considered 
responsible for modifications made by others, while ensuring that 
creators are credited for their work. There is more information on our 
copyright policy at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights

We choose the GFDL because we consider it the best available tool for 
ensuring our encyclopedia can remain free for all to use, while 
providing credit to everyone who donates text and images. This may or 
may not be compatible with your goals in creating the materials 
available on your website. Please be assured that if permission is not 
granted, your materials will not be used at Wikipedia -- we have a very 
strict policy against copyright violations.

With your permission, we will credit you for your work in the image's 
permanent description page, noting that it is your work and is used with 
your permission, and we will provide a link back to your website.

Thank you for your time.
