Folks before this disolves into a pointy session we know the whole process derailed a long time ago the block Dror was to protect the person and project there&#39;s no reason to disect it on this list.<br><br>Whats needed is solutions to resolve the problems with image uploads and heal the wounds<br>
<br>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.<br>
<br>Commons issues arent with every file in fact from the way the discussion on commons is worded it appears to only be about 20% the files. Why cant we continue to extract the other 80% of images until we can address the issue with the remaining images?<br>
<br>Is Pikiwiki closing down, can they retain the problematic images there, aka en with fair use images?<br><br>Is there something in the background that isnt being covered, ie server locations?<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

I am the admin that blocked Drork  for  72 hours.<br>
<br>
The reasson I blocked him is very simple... He is/was removing Deletion<br>
template from images pages and that ended on several places in a editwar.<br>
By removing templates he did made him self a danger for the system Commons<br>
works with. He was warned several times by other users than me, so the<br>
only option to stop it was a block.<br>
<br>
I don&#39;t see myself as a block happy admin. I patrol the recent changes a<br>
lot and delete copyvios a lot. In my time as Administrator on Commons I<br>
placed 38 blocks. By saying it was a bad faith block you are saying that I<br>
shouldn&#39;t have blocked him. I hope you can give some good reassons for<br>
that.<br>
<br>
Btw if I need to defend my block on him I would be happy to do so.. But on<br>
Commons not on a mailing list.<br>
