Economic Forum 2007 (WEF 2007)
To: foundation-l at lists.wikimedia.org


The last World Economic Forum in Davos released on Flickr some pictures
 about "very important people" with a free license compatible with Commons.
 It seems that they intentionally released such pictures to be uploaded on
 Commons, as this seems to be confirmed at
 http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Benjism89/WEF
 and at http://blog.anthere.org/

 Unfortunately, many people on Commons don't believed that this might be true
 and the view uploaded images were requested for deletion ( See
 http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=Project%3AWEF )

 This situation should be clarified as soon as possible, otherwise all
 uploaded pictures on Commons from WEF might be deleted, and it would be
 really a pity.
