Indeed. The extreme paranoia over images people created themselves versus the ridiculously sloppy standards for anything on Flickr (a bot can't meaningfully "verify" an image) makes Commons merely seem capricious. tl;dr Commons is behaving like damage that needs to be worked around. If people who consider themselves part of the Commons community don't like that being noted, they're the ones who need to consider changing; their intransigence up to now is *why* Commons appears to behave like damage. - d. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe>
