Ideally only fair use images must be uploaded to local wiki's and CC-BY-SA files are best uploaded to commons since projects across wikimedia universe can use it. * * * This requires action to remove copy-vios, & move the free images to Wikimedia Commons. Otherwise, the whole effort of Photothon was wasted.
