&nbsp; Yo,<br>&nbsp; I think we need to be a bit more persuasive about the cooperation thing. We aren't even sending angry mail when a local wiki causes a setback.<br>&nbsp; Local wikis should understand that by unlinking, we are doing them a favor. We are not even required to unlink any images instead&nbsp; we are simply recommended in doing so. 
<br>&nbsp; All local wikis must cut back on bureaucracy on any and all issues involving commons. We aren't able to get anything done because of the retarded amount of bureaucracy. A good example would be the delinking bots to this problem. 
<br>&nbsp; Identifying a problem is the first step in seeking a solution.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; - Cool Cat<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 11/23/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Brianna Laugher</b> &lt;<a href="mailto:brianna.laugher@gmail.com">
