From what I understand, anything on WikiPedia is public domain, and therefore available for the taking. True?<br />
<br />
Also, does WikiPedia have another site where images can be gotten?<br />
<br />
What other sites are there whereby any image I see is in the public domain?<br />
<br />
Thanks.
