[Commons-l] Ukrainian Wikipedia

[Alex G]

While I understand the merits of this proposal in theory, I am unsure
as to how it could be implemented in practice.  For instance, how
would you propose this "admin review" take place - if what you're
saying is true (and I don't have reason to doubt it, though I haven't
looked into the circumstances myself), there could be issues with
tagging for review, and subsequently transferring and deleting local
copies.

I would be interested to see a more developed proposal.
