This may be a > terrible idea, but I'm just throwing it out there. The problem is that removing grey areas won't help. No grey area would become 100.00% white, and if it's not 100.00% white, then people will delete it. I upload a picture under a free license, stating author and license. A few years down the road someone deletes it, because I have not given any evidence that it is. Of course I have only been a Wikipedian for nine years. We cannot go and trust people like that, can we? -- André Engels, [email protected] _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
