Hmmmm. Though I am not so sure the idea of selling scanned-for-vandalism version, whilst letting non scan for free, will be widely accepted. People may request free AND checked. Or maybe I did not exactly understood your proposal.
Once we have a way to generate a scanned-for-vandalism flag, I imagine that all communities will move to take advantage of this, and it will be available to all.
- Much of what we have is fancruft, and it seems fairly popular. Move
all fanstuff to a separate project, outside wikipedia. Call if fanpedia or something. Let this project be more liberal in its acceptance of media, and let this project accept advertisements. This could probably support all wiki projects.
So... what you suggest is that the Foundation set up a website, primarily constituted of fan-oriented information, with mostly copyrighted images under fair-use doctrine, and put advertisement on this web site, and use the income generated by this mean to support other projects ?
Errrrr. What do other think of that idea ???
This sounds like a mistake.
