Here's an idea: a direct "Upload to Commons" link in the sidebar. Good idea? Awful idea? Please don't say "wait till SUL" ... - d. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Marco Chiesa &lt;chiesa.marco(a)gmail.com&gt; Date: 3 Dec 2007 11:26 Subject: Re: [Wikipedia-l] Commons: Help! To: ninovessella(a)yahoo.it, wikipedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Hi Nino, on the Italian Wikipedia left side bar there are two buttons: "Carica un file" and "Carica su Commons". The first one uploads the file on the Italian Wikipedia, the second one on Commons. So, if you click on that one, provided that you're logged on Commons, just follow the instructions and uploading should be straightforward. Basically: from the Italian Wikipedia: click on "Carica su Commons" the page http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Upload/it opens I think "È interamente opera mia" <http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&uselang=itownwork> applies - therefore click on that link (or another one if more appropriate) Fill in the tempalte in the "Dettagli del file" box, select a license, same as in other projects more or less That should be it. The template {{NowCommons}} on it.wikipedia is used to tell an administrator that the same image is available on commons, but won't put that image on commons alone. BTW - I suppose you're Italian, we can continue the discussion in Italian if you want (maybe off-list?)
