- The upload bot uses a standard Commons' template. I didn't see any
rigid rules about how this template should be filled in. We did our best
to fill it in properly. In any case, all the information needed is
there. Some amendments can and will be made, but blocking the project
for placing the "source" information two lines below where expected??
    

Sounds like it will take only a minute to fix in the upload bot. Is
that done by now?
- Yes, but it still takes some time, and I don't see why the project should be halted in the meantime. Furthermore, if the administrators want to be cooperative about this project, they might as well provide the code for a template which will satisfy them. Why take the risk of further misunderstandings? And when this crisis is resolved, can we have a guarantee that sudden blocks will not happen again?
  
- People who upload images to the Pikiwiki interface sign a legally
binding statement in Hebrew. There is no use showing you the statement
unless you speak Hebrew. I can translate it, but why on earth don't you
trust the word of a recognized Wikimedia chapter, and two known Israeli
NGOs that all they do is legal? Especially as the names of the
contributors are available to you.
    

Could a (low-res) scan of each of these statements be automatically
mailed (or otherwise transfered) to OTRS?
- We have the statement in Hebrew and a list of people who signed it. The interface is built in a way that prevents uploads unless the statement is signed. What exactly should I send the OTRS?
  
- The images contributed are saved on the Commons. They are saved
temporarily before they are uploaded and then deleted from the temporary
server. By blocking the upload bot you caused a jam at the temporary
server, and quite soon the whole project will freeze, as people won't be
able to keep loading images.
    

Is the temporary server running out of disk space? Hard to imagine these days.
If it's not cheap disk space, then what is causing the "jam"?
- That's for our programmer to answer, or the person who maintain the server. Anyway, sudden blocks like that with no pre-warning, for indefinite period of time, is not too healthy.
Cheers,
Magnus
