I've checked in the English, Hebrew, French and other Wikipedias, and found out you can upload fair use images, or at least, I haven't found and DIRECT link to the Commons. What do you suggest, should we block all the users just because they can't upload images directly to the Wikipedia? Yuval
No, just block users who repeatedly iupload fair use images after being warned not to.
Fair use images have been banned from eswiki for a LONG time much before they disbaled local uplaods which was consensed by community
You're making a big fuss out of a few stubborn people. Spanish users have been using commons for a while without problems and there are even several commons sysops
Fair use is banned on eswiki no matter images go commons or not
fair use was banned BEFORE the local uploads were disabled and it would continue so even if local uplaods were reenabled
stubborn users would STILL be blocked the only difference they would be blocked first on eswiki and then on commons when they try to get around
