There's so much benefit to uploading them to

Though to be fair, uploading is only half the job. Most people don't
realise that categorising them makes them actually useful. At the very
least, a category describing the thing it's a photo of:
[[Sulfur-crested cockatoo]], [[Kilkenny Castle]] or [[MacDonalds]].
Strangely, we don't seem to mention that fact much.
That's my take on it too. Something which seems
quite natural to a
bunch of US editors, steeped in US copyright notions and law, can
often be quite complicated when introduced into a more international
forum, without even taking into account language differences. But it
generally works out, eventually.
Examples probably help.
