===Developing a Scholarly, MediaWiki-Based Article===

As I have been developing a group of scholarly, MediaWiki-based chapters under the aggregate title of, "The Structure, Stability, & Dynamics of Self-Gravitating Fluids," I have attempted to continue to work within the professional community's adopted set of "reprint permissions" guidelines.  But, in the modern/digital world, the detailed requirements are not always clear.  I'll focus here on one specific example.

In [[Apps/ImamuraHadleyCollaboration|one of my online chapters]], I heavily reference the [https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1985MNRAS.216..553B/abstract Blaes (1985, MNRAS, vol. 216, pp. 553-563)] paper titled, "Oscillations of Slender Tori."  (This MNRAS article is freely accessible to all, electronically.)  As I developed the content of my online chapter, I thought it was important to "reprint" one figure (Fig. 1) and two equations (Eqs. 1.6 and 3.2) from Blaes (1985).  In each case, I "cut" the Figure/Equation image from the paper digitally, then digitally imported the image into the MediaWiki-based online document.

Regarding the insertion of a digital image of each equations:  I presume that I could simply re-type each of the equations (with accompanying acknowledgments) within the body of my chapter text, thereby bypassing the whole permissions issue.  But, pedagogically, I prefer to post an image of each referenced equation so that the reader may more easily see how the results of my separate derivations (using different variable notations) compare to the original, published results.
