[Commons-l] Professional photographers on Commons: sucess story

[Joichi Ito]

I've also been rather frustrated with some of the automated tags. For  
instance, I recently had an album jacket image removed for lack of  
fair use rationale which I uploaded using a fair use template for  
album jacket artwork in an article about the album/CD. It was unclear  
to me where the discussion about fair use was and how wikimedia/ 
wikipedia could have two different and conflicting views on album  
artwork and fair use. I asked in the IRC channel and everyone just  
said, "when I get a bot tag, I just let it get deleted"... which I  
guess is one way of viewing it...

I guess if there were some link to a discussion page or something  
where you could ask for clarification, that would be useful.
