eswiki doesn't allow Fair Use images. It doesn't even allow loacl uploads. I could upload it at commons, but would be deleted in hours. Uploading at enwiki might be an option, but not a good one. English Wikipedia images are not there to serve other projects, and although they could survive more time would finally be deleted. Another option would be the toolserver but: a) I don't have an account there (yet). b) I was afraid of producing too much load for the toolserver. Also, it might need a special provision, per Duesentrieb's email (that may need to be clarified at the rules page). _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
