Hallo
EDP is the worst idea I have ever heared of. The resolution is supposed to clear things up, but in fact is now doing the opposite. NC and ND is not allowed, except if you have a EDP. You see what will happen? Whole communities will be tested once again. Fair use is NC and ND, but you can use it because of EDP.
I am sorry, but this is not a resolution I can back up.

I think the idea is that as soon as you can create a gallery, you dont need the EDP for that subject, as you have enough images. So only use it when there is nothing else available and it is really needed.

Hi,
Quoting Erik Moeller erik@wikimedia.org:
# Such EDPs must be minimal. Whenever possible, content used under an EDP should be replaced with a freely licensed work if it carries equivalent information content. Media used under EDPs are subject to deletion if there is rough consensus that they lack an applicable rationale. They must be used only in the context of other freely licensed content, and may not be arranged in galleries.
I suggest that this needs some additional discussion. If en:'s experience is typical, saying that replaceable unfree media is acceptable until it is actually replaced, instead of being possible in theory to replace,
reduces
the incentive to create or find free content considerably. Further, I'd suggest that the "burden of consensus" really needs to be that the unfree media
is
a justifiable exception to our goal of producing free content.
Additionally, the "gallery" phrasing strikes me as strangely specific. en:'s articles that are substantially galleries of unfree images tend to be formatted using templates to recreate <.table> functionality, as opposed to using the gallery tag. Perhaps you didn't mean the gallery tag specifically, but
it
was easy to read it that way.
