Well, other "educationally minded organizations" do not either solicit amateurs for writing encyclopedic articles. But we do peer review images after they have been uploaded on Commons or Wikipedia. It seems that, 10 years after Wikipedia and its sisters have been created, you still do not understand that there are wikis. > Sydney Regards, Yann _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
