	At this point, I decided to seek guidance directly from the editor-in-chief of MNRAS. I spent a couple of hours piecing together the contents of this web page so that the editor would understand my basic questions regarding reuse guidelines, as well as the frustration that I have experienced while trying to obtain answers to these questions. Then, I went to the [https://ras.ac.uk/journals/Editorial-Boards-and-Team Royal Astronomical Society web page] that identifies who serves on the "Editorial Boards & Team" of the MNRAS.

	The same MNRAS website that has been referenced above indicates that permissions requests regarding reuse may be emailed to ''journals.permissions@oup.com''. I sent an email to ~~this address~~ detailing the questions that I have regarding the reuse of MNRAS-archived (more broadly, OUP-archived) figures/equations in an online, MediaWiki-based article. As above, I used the Blaes (1985) publication as the example.		The same MNRAS website that has been referenced above indicates that permissions requests regarding reuse may be emailed to ''journals.permissions@oup.com''.

			===Step A===
			I sent an email to ''journals.permissions@oup.com'' detailing the questions that I have regarding the reuse of MNRAS-archived (more broadly, OUP-archived) figures/equations in an online, MediaWiki-based article. As above, I used the Blaes (1985) publication as the example.

			Disappointingly, the response that I received was a generic "Automatic Reply". It stated, in part … "All Journal permission requests should be directed to <b>Rightslink</b> …" A suggested path was "… at article level on the Oxford Journals website via the ‘Permissions’ link." Indeed, essentially the same instruction can be found on the ''academic.oup.com/journals/'' website; here is a screenshot (#1) of the relevant instruction.

			<table border="1" align="center" cellpadding="5">
			<tr>
			<td align="center">'''Screenshot #1'''</td>
			</tr>
			<tr>
			<td align="center">
			[[File:RightslinkInstructions.png\|500px\|center\|Rightslink Instructions]]
			</td>
			</tr>
			</table>

			===Step B===
			I then went to the MNRAS web page that displays the title/abstract/etc. of the [https://academic.oup.com/mnras/article/216/3/553/1005987 Blaes (1985)] article. As the following screenshot (#2) shows, there is indeed a "Permissions" link immediately above the Abstract.

			<table border="1" align="center" cellpadding="5">
			<tr>
			<td align="center">'''Screenshot #2'''</td>
			</tr>
			<tr>
			<td align="center">
			[[File:MNRASexamplePermissions2.png\|500px\|center\|Example MNRAS article link]]
			</td>
			</tr>
			</table>

			===Step C===
			I clicked on this "Permissions" link and was taken to a '''RightsLink''' page that displayed the following (screenshot #3) information and instruction:

			<table border="1" align="center" cellpadding="5">
			<tr>
			<td align="center">'''Screenshot #3'''</td>
			</tr>
			<tr>
			<td align="center">
			[[File:RightsLinkRedirect.png\|500px\|center\|Example MNRAS article link]]
			</td>
			</tr>
			</table>

			Notice that I am directed ''not'' to use the '''RightsLink''' service but, instead, to send my request to ''journals.permissions@oup.com''.

			===Step D===
			Repeat "Step A".

	Disappointingly, the response that I received was a generic "Automatic Reply". It stated, in part … "All Journal permission requests should be directed to <b>Rightslink</b> …" A suggested path was "… at article level on the Oxford Journals website via the ‘Permissions’ link."
