Hey everyone, I've written a policy regarding fair use images on the Polish edition of Wikinews. We'll be actually working based on the Polish law - hence the title of the page is "Permitted use", not "Free use". To quickly summarize the main points of our policy: * Every "permitted use" image must contain a link to the original source * Only non-free files can be uploaded to Wikinews - the rest should go to Commons * We can upload only the following: ** Company/organizations/etc. logos ** Press attachments ** Screenshots (or parts of it, so they won't be copyright infrigements) Of course, we won't allow any derivative works uploaded to Wikinews based on copyrighted material. Well, I think this is all. Our users are already leaving comments on the article's talk page, and from what I heard on IRC - they all support it. Here's a link to the policy: http://pl.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Dozwolony_u%C5%BCytek -- Best regards, Dariusz "Datrio" Siedlecki

hi, Just a "newbye" question. Is the "Upload fair use media" repository unique for all language wiki or is there One repository per language. More simple (sorry i lack real english practice) : if I want to use a "fair use media" presents into en.wikinews, do I need to copy/paste the stuff in the french realm or do I have a direct link from the froggy (choose an another) wikinews to the english wikinews ???? I love commons for that reason : one repository for ALL wikis. (don't love border or ghetto sorry :) jacques Divol from the french part of the force ... ... ... (who said black ?????, ;)))) Le 19 mai 05, à 00:27, Erik Moeller a écrit :
