Hoi, I had a look at the VIDEOS they made available. They are too big for us to upload. They were boring. they are not the encyclopaedic material we are looking for.
Making material available under a free license, does not mean that it automatically qualifies as useful. Thanks, GerardM

No offense but , Al Jazeera is a topic many USA people take offense at.
So what? We just went through lengthy discussions about whether or not to keep Latuff images and the result was that Commons is not censored. Just because a certain group of people doesn't like what a certain file depicts, I don't see why we should not host them. If they are in scope, they can be uploaded.
