Well, taking a first stab at this. Here's my letter to Wired: ---- Per the recent New York Times admission that one of your editors plagiarized content from Wikipedia uncredited, I respectfully request credit for media work of mine that Wired has reproduced without credit.
http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/06/24/editor-of-wired-apologizes-for-copying-from-wikipedia-in-new-book/ This reproduces a photograph in the digitally restored version I generated through painstaking restoration: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sfearthquake3b.jpg My restoration of this image was selected as a "featured picture", which designates Wikipedia's best content. It ran on Wikipedia's main page on 16 March 2008: one month before your uncredited reproduction of my volunteer labor. I seek no compensation other than credit. Please post credit as follows: "Restoration by Lise Broer (Durova)". Thank you very much, Lise Broer San Diego, California.
