Some time ago, I suggested using Meta for this purpose. That would be the best solution; the second-best being to use Commons and expanding the scope to chapter logos and the like (as I suggested already: http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Pikiwiki_logo.jpg&diff=prev&oldid=22003706)
Either would be acceptable. The status quo is not. -Mike On Thu, 2009-06-04 at 11:16 -0700, Robert Rohde wrote: > On Thu, Jun 4, 2009 at 9:59 AM, Andrew Turvey > <[email protected]> wrote: > > I've started a discussion at > > http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:Licensing#Wikimedia_Chapter_Copyrights > > regarding the policy of Commons on images where the copyright is owned by a > > recognised chapter. > > > > Commons already recognises an exception for images whose copyrights are > > owned by the Wikimedia Foundation.
