I've just spent over 30 minutes uploading a file to Wikimedia Commons. The excessive time was due to the new upload form. The image in question is http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Stratford_station_360_-_August_2008… I filled out all the sections of the form as it asked me to, but no matter what I tried it would not let me upload the file, giving only the unhelpful error "You must give the original source of the file, the author of the work, and a license." I say unhelpful because I had filled in all of the noted fields - even changing them from the default to see if that mad a difference, but nope. the only thing I can think of is that I hadn't selected a license from the dropdown list, as I wanted to use my own custom tag (user:Thryduulf/cc-by-sa-all) which wraps the standard cc template with a note about my personal relicencing policy and categorises it in my user category. If the permission box is set to check if the licence included in there is one of a known set, then if it doesn't match say so in the error message. If the "none selected" license option doesn't let you upload the file then you need to change the wording on it so that it doesn't imply you can and give an option that says "I have added a license tag in the permissions field above" that will let it upload. When I found the link to the old-style basic upload form (and remembered how to use it) everything went swimmingly. I used the same information in the manual form as I was trying to upload using the pretty form. I am using the latest version of Firefox 2 on 64-bit Kubuntu Linux.
