 Removal of image ""Robot Chemist.jpg"" 

I have been told, and have confirmed, that you removed the image referenced above, including the link to the article ""Hans Baruch.""

I have made several unsuccessful attempts to send email to the appropriate authorities at Wikipedia notifying them that the photograph was taken by me and that I have always considered the image to be in the public domain. The photograph was taken by me well over 40 years
ago and Research Specialties has not existed since 1965.

I hereby release all rights to this image to be used by Wikipedia for any purpose whatsoever.

I would very much appreciate it if the image were restored to the biographical article as well as the image by itself.  This photograph is an essential part of the story of the development of the Robot Chemist.

Am I doing this correctly?  If not, would you please send me the correct methodology for accomplishing the requested restoration?

Thank you for any help you can give in this matter.

Siincerely,

Hans Baruch (ex CEO of Research Specialties Company)
