The text I cited has now been changed to "All text on Wikimedia sites is available as Creative Commons material".
This does not resolve the issue I raised above; as my first bullet point applies not only to media files, but also to numerous texts on Wikimedia sites; not least a large part of Wikisource.
This is still the case. When will it be fixed? Will it?
Furthermore, the "Sesame Street" image used on the site's home page and the linked article, is labelled on Commons: "This work might not be available under a free license in the United States because it is based on an artwork or sculpture that may be protected by copyright under U.S. law."
This image is still on the pages I mentioned.
And still is; over two weeks after I first pointed it out. No-one at WMF has even acknowledged my comment.
As several people pointed out, the issues should be reported on Phabricator. As "a b" stated on August 12th:
If "several people" pointed this out, they did not do so on this list. perhaps you can provide a link to where they did so.
Had I seen anyone point that out I would have commented then, as I do now, that that is not an acceptable position to take, for reasons which I'll leave as an exercise for the reader.
I'll also note that a a member of WMF staff, using their wikimedia.org email address, has thanked people, in this thread, for feedback given /in this thread/.
Please file the relevant tasks in phabricator to enable better tracking of issues compared to on the mailing list: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/edit/form/1/?tags=wikimedia...
You've quoted that unattributed, in manner (two chevrons) that makes it appear to have been said my me. In fact, it was said by a b cheeseyapacman@gmail.com on 11 August 2018 at 23:19
To which you kindly replied:
Thank you; no.
Indeed so; for the same reason as I indicated above, and as others have pointed out in this thread.
So your concerns will be acknowledged once they make their way to Phabricator. You can login there with your wiki account.
Were I to perform that redundant clerical task, perhaps they would.
Until you do so, your concerns will stay under the radar on this list.
That's rather an odd assertion, given that I posted a pointer to my last update on this list, here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Wikimedia_Foundation_websi...
being the talk page of a page Gregory Varnum has told us, in this very thread, to use for giving feedback. I note that Gregory has since edited that talk page, so can be presumed to have seen it; albeit he did not give a reply.
