"You're an idiot, and you're damaging the project. It's not about copyright, or understanding it. What I'll do is to keep swearing at you, and I'll be uploading tons of files onto en.WP, not Commons. That will just disadvantage other users, and will cause Commons admins more work eventually in having to go through the process of transferring them to Commons. I will refuse to categorise. And I will encourage all other editors to do the same. Continue your personal vendetta against me—fine. Again, you and your thug friends on Commons are idiots and deserve no respect.

That's the comment Charles refers to. Oops! I can see why some frustration on Tony1's part is legit; a Commons admin deleted the image illustrating the Signpost article on the attempt by the DCRI to have a French Wikipedia article deleted, and then failed to explain it in a way that would make sense to a non-expert. You won't see me argue against accusations that Commons is dysfunctional, but the response is clearly way out of proportion. But the point that I made, and that probably hundreds of people have made before me, is that there isn't much we can do without altering the fundamental architecture of the community. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
