It seems that either the instructions were insufficient or not followed properly. Cheers, Peter

Well.. there where instructions. All the videos were supervised before uploading, all the songs were perfectly cited at the descriptions and all the own work was marked as own work. This are the instructiones to follow when uploading to Commons. ________________________________ From: Wikimedia-l wikimedia-l-bounces@lists.wikimedia.org on behalf of Peter Southwood peter.southwood@telkomsa.net Sent: Sunday, May 12, 2019 7:59 PM To: 'Wikimedia Mailing List' Subject: Re: [Wikimedia-l] Dispute between Common and Outreach
It seems to be a situation where there were no clear instructions, so people did what they thought was a good idea, but others thought it was a bad idea. No communications, now the blame is being spread without analysing the problem and proposing a solution. Not an unusual situation really. Cheers, Peter

Hello all,
There seems to be a dispute between the Outreach and the Commons components of The Community, judging by the article "Wikimedia Commons: a highly hostile place for multimedia students contributions" at the Education Newsletter
https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/News/April_2019/Wikimedia_Comm...
As far as I can understand it, some students on an Outreach project uploaded some rather well-made video material, and comeone on Commons deleted them because they appeared to well-made to be student projects and so concluded they were copyright violations. But some rather odd remarks were made "Commons has to fight the endless stream of uploaded copyrighted content on behalf of a headquarters in San Francisco that doesn't care." and "you have regarded Commons as little more than free cloud storage for images you intend to use on Wikipedia ".
Perhaps the Foundation needs to resolve this dispute?
