If you post any fair-use images, you'd better be prepared to defend them and jump through hoops for them forevermore... Better not go on a vacation or wikibreak long enough not to catch all the robotic messages that continually pop up on your user talk page to inform you that one of your images is about to be automatically deleted because it doesn't have the correct incantations (based on ever-changing rules) on the image description page, or the image is not in use on an article because somebody removed it there (sometimes without explanation), and hence the image itself will be deleted soon. -- == Dan == Dan's Mail Format Site: http://mailformat.dan.info/ Dan's Web Tips: http://webtips.dan.info/ Dan's Domain Site: http://domains.dan.info/ _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
