appears to me that the way "Fair use" has been implemented on uk.wikipedia may
be in violation of a resolution of the Board of the Wikimedia Foundation[1]. I
would advise you to review the document I linked below and analyse if the
current policy on uk.wikipedia is in occordance with the
Resolution.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

a platform for discussion. I have no opinion on the internal matters of
uk.wikipedia; as long as the community wanders within the boundaries that have
been set by the Foundation, I think the community should find solutions for
their own problems, or, if involved parties agree, request
mediation.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>I propose forbid uploading images from Ukrainian Wikipedia, because
uk-wp admins abuse copyright. Some of them uploads non-free images with free
licence. Other ones use fairuses in templates and userpages. And you may upload
ANY image and put license {{Fairuse in}} and image will stay on Wikipedia during
months.<BR><BR>Last week some sysop (Turzh) uploaded many images with license
CC-BY-SA from the site <A href="http://sobory.ru">sobory.ru</A> , but author
allows only non-commercial usage (see OTRS ticket#<A
onmouseover="window.status='Подробно'; return true;"
onmouseout="window.status='';"
href="https://secure.wikimedia.org/otrs/index.pl?Action=AgentTicketZoom&TicketID=1692013&ArticleID=2042868&QueueID=144">2008070810020169</A>).
I ask that sysop to delete these images because such permission is unappropriate
but he continued upload images. Today I ask him again to delete it (because
images with free license maybe uploaded by any user to Commons; and I as
Commons' sysop care about purity of project), but he said that he not uploaded
it in Commons, it is uk-wiki, and he does what he want. Then I put templates
{{db}} to some images but he blocked me for 24 hours.<BR><BR>That's why I
suggest to forbid uploading images from uk-wiki (firstly via CommonsHelper and
then with another ways) without admin review.<BR><BR>-- <BR>Anatoliy Honcharov
