hi,
I think we mean this criticism only in the Wikipedia reference. It's

It isn't very obvious that Commons implies OGV. Not many people are aware

While on the subject, perhaps you and Arnav Sonara could do something about

It isn't easy to stand ground when you are outnumbered.
It also isn't god when the cop reels out a law which you've never heard of.

What if the Washinton Post, or New York Times carried out an article

Vickram,
The way things are going, anything and everything is sensitive.
