[WikiEN-l] [mrjung at MIT.EDU: DMCA Notification of Infringement Letter]

Fri Sep 24 21:33:38 UTC 2004

Grunt has deleted the image and I have left a message for the uploader
of it. If they want to claim it was not a copyright violation, I have
a backup of the image.

The Grigori Perelman article also appears on the German and Polish
Wikipedias, but the image was never used there.

I've emailed Michael Jung to inform him of this.

Angela.
