Chapter images? Like ... educational works authored by the chapters? … The best way to avoid wanky idiocy is to *BE* *SPECIFIC*. If you can't be specific then perhaps slippery slope arguments do apply. I suggest a simple criteria: How about we allow copyright restricted uploads only of trademarked marks from organizations with a trademark licensing agreement with the WMF? I think that limits the whom it applies to without needlessly special casing chapters, and it removes any slippery slope argument because it tightly confines the scope. _______________________________________________ Commons-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/commons-l
