0.3 Gigapixel Galactic Center Mosaic

[edit]
  • Link: [1]
  • Author: Stéphane Guisard (sgu POINT astro AT gmail.com)
  • Why it is exceptional: The words "0.3 Gigapixels" speak for themselves
  • Why the author might relicense it: A lower resolution version, File:Guisard - Milky Way.jpg, is already licensed under CC and part of Commons.

CERN Document Server Photos

[edit]
  • Link: [2]
  • Copyright holder: CERN Geneva (cds.support@cern.ch)
  • Why it is exceptional: There are almost no high resolution, high quality CERN/LHC images on Commons. The document server, however, hosts thousands. Even receiving permission for just one or two of them (like this one) could make highly valuable educational material freely available on Commons.
  • Why the author might relicense it: CERN is not a commercial institution. Being a scientific project, they might be quite open to requests from a proect dedicated to making the knowledge of the world freely available.
  • Status: Not done.

I've sent an email to CERN asking for permissions for a image of the LHC. Mikemoral♪♫ 22:16, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply] 

The images may be used for educational or informational
purposes. Requests for permission for any other use must be addressed
to CERN. The images may not be used in a misleading, inappropriate or
offensive manner, in a military context, in advertising or in a manner
that suggests any kind of endorsement by CERN or its personnel.

  • Link: [4]
  • Copyright holder: The Independent
  • Why it is exceptional: It is one of the few images of the subject that is available.
  • Why the author might relicense it: No specific reason why, but it's worth a try.
  • Status: Pending
