For those who might not track Wikinews, or follow it on Facebook, here's my report from the visit to the EU parliament....
https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wiki_loves_the_European_Parliament_in_Strasbour...
Thankfully the hoo-haw about France's lack of FoP was resolved with a permissions email to OTRS from someone in the Parliament.
I'll be looking to do more video-based reporting over the next couple of months, but I think the new 'pop-out' method of displaying video is hideous. A result of NIH syndrome, methinks?

As the emails were not a release from the copyright holder, the photographs are still up for deletion on Commons. I note that the copyright licence on wikinews may mislead reusers if the copyright holder of the building has not agreed to unconditional free reuse of photographs.

Thanks for a useless link, Fæ. Since I quit OTRS quite some time ago - for what were simply "personality clash" reasons, as-opposed to ability to provide professional support services, that's, ... 'useless'.

From what limited correspondence I can see, deletion of these images is only going to reflect badly (and, that's putting it mildly) on Wikimedia groups/orgs/whatnot.
Can we, *please* have some people running things who're not "nice and fluffy"? Who get things done, rather than doing nothing and offending nobody? I name no names because I'm pretty-sure a lot of people who could meet that 'wish' do not, due to people who put positive PR before meeting the movement's longer-term goals hamstringing them.
