[Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia Sweden loses copyright suit

Note that "not insignificant" = significant. The decision points exactly
that the commercial aspect is relevant, and the artists should have
participation on it.
"The court finds that the artists are entitled to that value"[1], this is
what the decision says, at least according to The Guardian. I couldn't
understand the original decision, even if i have had access to it.
What is found in these paragraphs you've mentioned?

Original research in a wiki way = Wikiversity
Original report (for recent events) and interviews = Wikinews

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Recognition of two new user groups

[Michel Castelo Branco]

Unity was achieved two years ago for a Brazilian chapter. This user group 
proposal is a condition imposed by AffCom for a future apply as a chapter 
after1 year. The group accepted it in an open discussion. So, here we go...

Everyone who was ready and willing to work as a group is on board,
basically. So this is indeed great news :).

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Staff Images

[Michel Castelo Branco]

There are countries where women showing her shoulders or nude head are not 
accepted yet. I think the staff should complaint only about what is accepted 
where they are (so they  wont be arrested).

Hi, 
I didn't say that people with thats are not proffesionals. I have multiple 
myself also. 
I am saying that the page has a lay-out with pictures that all fit together and 
are specially made for that page. I believe you shouldn't destroy the lay-out 
or style by adding "personal" pictures. Otherwhise you should lose the style 
completly. 
Secondly we are a world wide organisation, and there are still enough countries 
where tats are not accepted yet. So it can be wise to try to minimise the 
things on pictures that can be offensive for some people. 
And as last. Brandon places his tattoo first and makes his face blurry. Thats 
why I started posting. If both the tattoo would be vissible and his face I 
wouldn't have any problems at all.
