Jimmy-
O.k., so, it sounds like you're right, we need patches. Does anyone know where the "big fany totally redone form" proposal is, so that someone can code to that spec?
A big totally redone form proposal is part of the Wikimedia Commons idea: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Uploadform1.png http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Uploadform2.png
This proposal seeks to provide a simple and quick solution for photos by Wikipedians while requiring all the necessary information for photos from outside sources.
Regards,
Erik
