After warning some users from the Spanish Wikipedia not to upload FAIR USE images to the commons (and blocked one of them...) I've checked the Wikipedia, and I've noticed that the UPLOAD FILE section in http://es.wikipedia.org/ leads DIRECTLY to http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Upload?uselang=es
This isn't new. Eswikipedia disabled uploads because they do did not previously allow images which commons would not allow.
Uploading fair use images seems to be valid in any other Wikipedia, and the result is that the Es.Wikipedia users uploads the images directly to commons.
Quite a few other Wikipedias do not allow any non-free images.
This situation CAN'T go on.
Perhaps it's gotten much worse since I was active.. but I doubt it.
The problem images that come because of Eswiki newbies thinking non-free images can be uploaded are easy to identify and can be quickly deleted.
