no, the fair use media repository will be independant for each language. The reason being each project might take a different stance on it.

Remember that using fair use image is here to support information, but it is not our goal to provide content with restricted use. We should avoid it whenever necessary

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 :)

With the agreement of the Board, I have enabled local uploads on the English edition of Wikinews.

I ask other language editions that are interested in fair use to formulate a similar whitelist policy for cases in which fair use should be allowed. The emphasis is on *whitelist* - any case not covered by the policy should be quickly deleted.

Once a policy is developed, please report it on foundation-l or wikinews-l to move forward with enabling local uploads. A brief summary of your policy in English would be very helpful.

For reference, the English fair use policy is at: http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Fair_use

As before, the Wikimedia Commons should be used for any free content media.

All best,
