Anyone fancy having their eight string on wikipedia?

Acre · 06-08-2009, 09:03 PM

I just had a scan on the eight string guitar wikipedia page and it's pretty bare. There's a picture of Mårten Hagström with his eight but I really think it could do with a nice big close up of an actual guitar. I had a look on Flickr but Wiki are REALLY strict about this kind of thing and it has to be completely free to use, distriubute and make derivatives of.

I was hoping someone on the forum would be willing to step up and put their own eight on the page. It would look a lot better and probably encourage more people to take it seriously. At the moment it's a mess.

Also, how cool would it be to have a picture of YOUR eight string on wikipedia?

So everyone who googles 'eight string guitar' sees it.

Seriously if someone does this for me I'll be so grateful

Otherwise I might email someone on Flickr to change their image rights.

I'm willing to do it, but I'm at work until 7 AM (midnight right now), so if someone else has the time between now and then, go ahead and take theirs.

I've tried: Eight-string guitar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I wonder, how long is it going to stay there

Anyone know how to add a goddamn description to the photo on wiki?

Click on the photo, then click 'edit' in the top right hand corner of the summary section underneath. Oh and thanks btw

This is it here.

I'm rather surprised to see Tom Morello as a notable user in the Wiki.

... so?)
