Re: [Commons-l] [Fwd: [Wmfcc-l] Photo submission queue]

The following mail by Mark did not reach the list. I wasn't able to locate the problem - here is a forward 'by hand'. Bye, Tim. ---[snip]--- Message-ID: <4788E32A.5090209(a)comcast.net> Date: Sat, 12 Jan 2008 10:56:26 -0500 From: Mark Pellegrini <mapellegrini(a)comcast.net> To: commons-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Subject: [Fwd: [Wmfcc-l] Photo submission queue] Originally sent to the Press Committee mailing list.

One very common problem I've been encountering is that people email me pictures, but don't specify a license. I don't really know how to make the contact page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Contact_us/Photo_submission) more clear on this point - help is welcome. First, I'd like to request one of the OTRS admins add a form response along the lines "I'd like to add this photo to our article, but oops! You didn't specify a license."

Second, I think this idea is working well enough that we should start doing it on other language wikis and on other projects. (Note - that will necessitate adding others to the queue, particularly those who speak languages I don't - namely, everything but English)
