The "service project angle" worries me
too. I have noticed that many
articles of Wikipedia, the service project that makes it easier to
find media in Commons by providing encyclopedic context to our
content, utterly lack the proper links to our galleries and
categories.
Furthermore, I sometimes have the feeling that contributors of
Wikipedia expect us to host all sorts of unacceptable media in return
of the service that they provide; while we of course appreciate the
service projects, this is a problem, particularly when these files are
copyright violations.
In the particular case of Pikiwiki, it would of course be very
caricatural to say that all their images are copyvios. There are lots
of out-of-scope party snapshots, too.
I'd hope this isn't a summary of the views of other Commons admins.
Anyone else? Or is the Commons admin community this insular and derisive?
- d.
I hope that this isn't the view of admins outside the Commons community.
Seriously with this kind of discussion we end up nowhere. Perhaps it
would be more useful to actually get to the points of problem or just
stop discussing at all.
