What about a new tag that allows inclusion of images
from other
wikipedias?
This would save us a lot of effort to download and re-upload say 200 CIA
factbook maps, 200 country flags and the like (which is not fun to do
especially with current occasionally very slow response times).
No, it's no fun at all, but in the German wikipedia we decided to do
exactly this (Scipius was so nice to mail me the flags in a
zip-file). Reasons: there is no possibility to control whether pictures
are in use in other wikipedias. Pictures may be changed or deleted without
a possibility to say: hey stop, we still need this picture!
BTW: this is a subject which is definitely of concern for the
international list. Or is wikipedia-l the international list now?
