Hi. A friend of mine just tried to upload an image to Wikipedia which was given to him by another friend. Unfortunately the Upload page only provides the options: * made by someone else for use on Wikipedia only * made by someone else for non-commercial use only and both of these options lead to a speedy-deletion warning. The most OBVIOUS options are missing: * made by someone else and licenced as (whatever free/open licence) * made by someone else and placed in the public domain Because of this, he is forced to use a lower-quality image or no image at all (or to lie by claiming to be the author of the work). I think this should be fixed as soon as possible so that normal, reasonable people can upload normal, reasonable images. Very frustrated, Timwi _______________________________________________ Wikipedia-l mailing list Wikipedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikipedia-l
