I hope this is the right place for this.
I'm starting to take photos of the MBTA in Boston for Wikipedia. I'd like to encourage anyone else who is taking pictures of trains and subway systems to do the same... by putting them on Wikipedia, you help to preserve them for future generations, people from other cultures and help educate people about the history of railways and subway systems.
I would be happy to help anyone upload their images to Wikipedia, if they give permission.
In order to ensure Wikipedia can reproduce your images, they ask that you either dedicated them to the public domain, or license them in such a way that they can be used with Wikipedia's licensed content. If you're using Flickr, this is really easy.. http://www.flickr.com/account/prefs/license/ and select either the 'Attribution' or 'Attribution-ShareAlike' license...
I'm also happy to field questions on doing this licensing for non-Flickr users.

Oh, I bet you read a lot of Gordon Wood, huh? You read your Gordon Wood and you regurgitate it from a textbook, and you think you're awesome doing that and how 'bout them apples and all that Gordon Wood business?
