Yes, but not everyone knows that and any tom, dick or harry that randomly finds them doesn't know that, that is why they should be clearly labelled with their source(/s), licenses(/s) and any other appropriate information on their [the images] description pages. Someone could even make a template saying that they are part of a series from whatever contest that they are from. -Peachey ___ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l

Till some moment, all updates were assumed under GFDL ... or it was said "you agree to release your upload under GFDL with your pushing this button" or something alike. No tagged old images could be legacy from that era. For more details, see related mediawiki files' past revisions.

Yes. This is idiotic. The logo contest followed the same rules as all other submissions to Wikipedia -- they were submitted under the GFDL.

We are reaching the limits of non sense. > Yes...Copyright paranoia in action... You can always copy those files as long as they exists and simply create your private website with all of them. I wonder who is going to sue you for copyvio in such the case. I guess nobody... Anyway this is indeed big question if we should delete files based on the "0 tolerance for potential copyvio, no matter if it does make any practical sense or was examine but someone with real copyright knowledge" rule or rather based on "is there any probability that someone will sue us for copyvio". Wikimedia Commons (and many other Wikimedia projects) currently follow the "0 tolerance" approach. The exeption is still Wikipedia-en and several other projects which still allow fair-use. -- Tomek "Polimerek" Ganicz http://pl.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Polimerek http://www.ganicz.pl/poli/ http://www.ptchem.lodz.pl/en/TomaszGanicz.html ___ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l

Some books are very productive in that way, if you have time to add each interesting fact to the encyclopedia. TV is a bit awkward to reference, at least routinely.

Does anyone else suffer from this problem, whereby you listen to or watch any kind of programme and think "I could add that to Wikipedia!" For me, there's so many facts I encounter every day that having that thought becomes overwhelming. I just wonder if I'm alone.
