Dear Dr. Wayne, Exactly, we require a barnraising event. Some thoughts...
- Let us take (your) first mail in this discussion as the official notification for the need to review image uploading procedure and licensing of already uploaded images to ensure they are CC-BY-SA complaint. - Community Volunteers may place a "License under review" template on the edit page of the images that do not specify license - Community may be requested to review their own uploads by themselves and place CC-BY-SA license in sure cases - community support will be available for this process. (Shall we specify a deadline for this?) - Members may request deletion on the edit page of images that are sure cases of license violation. (For this shall we require a second level of reviewers to recommend deletion to the Admin user? ) - Initiate a community support system to find out free license equivalents when the images marked for deletion are found to be essential for widely used OER pages on WE. - Create a WE support page exclusively for this venture Though it will take time, I think there is no way other than examining each and every image through a barnraising event, because WE matters now.
