Anthere:
Then why are both wikicommons and wikinews still envased in copyright issues ?
"Envased" is not an English word, if you mean that both projects have lacked planning and foresight when it comes to copyright issues, then I would argue that the exact opposite is the case:
You're right of course, and sometimes it would be quite understandable if it meant that Anthere wanted to see you stuffed in a vase. :-)
Literally, the reference is to the feminine form of "vase", which is the sediment that builds up in a stagnant body of water. It becomes "enveser" or silted over. Figuratively, it becomes "stuck in the mud", or "mired". An interesting word!
