Is the best move stopping further uploads until resolved, can we work around the problems while they are addressed? The basis of the problems is the difference between acceptable image licenses and the trail back to the source. Commons need the detail Pikiwiki doesnt have enough of it because the policies didnt need it due to local laws and the disclaimer they used.

I'm not convinced that it is best to keep the bot blocked. Most of the uploads are just fine, and it'd be great if we could allow the more reliable uploads to continue, even while work is being done to rectify some of the issues which were raised. I think it'd be helpful to hear from Drork or someone else involved in that project whether such an arrangement could be achieved.
