What central banks do
This is the brilliantest page on wikipedia This statement needs correction:
"Thus, by conducting this type of open market operation — selling bonds when there is excess currency and buying bonds when there is too little — the bank can maintain the value of the dollar at one ounce of silver without ever redeeming any paper dollars for silver. In fact, this is essentially what all modern central banks do, and the fact that their currencies might be physically inconvertible is made irrelevant by the maintenance of financial convertibility."
In fact, all modern currencies have lost the majority of their value relative to precious metals over the last 35 years precisely because the ending of the last link to such a metal (gold, in this case), allowed central banks to create paper money that never has to be redeemed in a precious metal. So it is clearly not true that "maintain[ing] the value of [their currency]" in terms of a precious metal is "essentially what all modern central banks do".

Request to provide proper credit for my images (or to remove the images from Wikipedia)
I do not appreciate that someone has removed a link to my free banknote gallery at http://www.banknotes.com/images.htm . My website has been linking a lot to Wikipedia.org. Example: http://www.banknotes.com/fr.htm => scroll down to "History of France" link. All of my gallery country pages are linking to Wikipedia's history articles and some other articles. I'm linking to all the history articles giving exposure to Wikipedia and you are not being fair. I've noticed many banknotes from Banknotes.com were (maybe still are) being used without any credit or link given. Here is an example of the many:
This is the banknote I scanned and posted in my free public gallery: http://www.banknotes.com/DK57.JPG
This is the same image that's been stolen (no credit given, not even asked a permission) from my site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:200kroner.jpg
The source is here, many imagesthere are stolen from Banknotes.com: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallery_of_banknotes
I can display many more pages on Wikipedia where my banknotes are posted improperly. I wouldn't mind providing banknote images to Wikipedia, but not to pirates.
Therefore I request removal of ALL banknote images from Wikipedia that were taken from Banknotes.com or provide proper credit for each image or a group of images on each Wikipedia page.
I expect a response. You can email admin (at)banknotes (dot) com .
Regards, Audrius

Look, I'm not fighting to put my gallery's link back on Wikipedia, I'm requesting proper credits for ALL my banknote images, otherwise please remove all of the images if the proper credits will not be provided to www.banknotes.com
Any advice on this? Or should I go and start removing all my images myself? Or I will go and post proper credit links myself.
