[Commons-l] Bad experience of the new upload form

[Sandahl]

Thank you very much! The new upload form is better in most ways but the 
old one is quicker for the some less common license tags like 
{{PD-USGov-FWS}} such as the one I used. I like the larger description 
box on the new one much better.
