Subject: Requesting permission to use a diagram from the KGS website

Mike Lynch:

I am a retired chemical engineer and would like permission to use a diagram from the website of the Kentucky Geological Survey in an article that I plan to write in the Citizendium encyclopedia about coal mining methods. A copy of the diagram is attached below and it was obtained from http://www.uky.edu/KGS/coal/coal_mining.htm

Citizendium is a non-profit, free online encyclopedia. Volunteer editors, including university professors and other experts, review all articles before they receive final approval. Unpaid volunteer authors, like myself, must be vetted and approved before they can contribute any articles and authors must use their real names. You may visit the Citizendium at http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Main_Page to learn more.

If you would grant us the permission to use the photo as a public educational service, we would be most grateful. We would prefer the photos be released under a Creative Commons (CC) license ( see http://creativecommons.org/license/ ), but will gladly accept the terms with which you are most comfortable.

Your photos will be viewable worldwide and will be conspicuously labeled "CC Image :Kentucky Geological Survey " (or any other name that you specify). If at any time in the future you request the diagram's removal, such request will be honored.

Assuming that permission is granted, I will need to receive an email signed by you (or the appropriate person) stating that permission is granted. We are not otherwise allowed to use diagrams. images or photos.

Thanking you for your consideration, I am
