What would you say if I uploaded a bunch of

Wikipedia Commons? Would they be deleted? For me there's a lot of
value of Flickr being a space I can upload photographs that I choose,
rather than needing to wonder if "it likely to be useful to a Wikimedia
Foundation <http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/> project?" I'd rather
give my $25 a year to Flickr than face the prospect of arguing about the
inclusion of my photos.
I'm not disagreeing; that's why I pay for Flickr. I don't think
Commons can or should try to do *everything* Flickr does, but within
the scope of Commons, there's still room to add a lot of the fun
aspects of Flickr.
