Using a hebrew name? An English name? Which name of those will be provided at commons? (eg. you could use hebrew name at pikiwiki, and have the reviewer to put an English name to the image, used on commons). For Wikimedia Commons, the identifier is the filename. If you also use the filename as id, they can be the same (also handy for you to show other commons images). OTOH, if you use a different one (eg. a nuumber) there will be a need to match them in both directions. Pikiwiki will ahve a link to commons, and commons to pikiwiki so including the id into the file name is not so important (of course you can still do it if you wish). It may provide a little help when searchign for the source from a reuser site, but finding where to put the id is probably equally hard as to get to the proper search box to put the filename. If you want to intrinsecally attribute the file to you, add the ppikiwiki link and image url to the metadata (unless you want to provi). > 4. Naturally, people will describe the images in Hebrew.

Although adding the ability to easily place descriptions on other languages would be nice. _______________________________________________ Commons-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/commons-l
