(I believe the other project of comparable size to do this is the Portugese Wikipedia.) Letting you upload material to eswiki wouldn't get by the fact that the eswiki community has agreed not to have fair-use material, and so it would still get deleted. "The Spanish Wikipedia only accepts free images, and has rejected fair use since 2004, after a public vote. In 2006, it was decided to phase out the use of local image uploads and to exclusively use Wikimedia Commons for images and other media in the future." - the enwiki article on eswiki. -- - Andrew Gray andrew.gray(a)dunelm.org.uk _______________________________________________ Commons-l mailing list Commons-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/commons-l

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
