Why would these images even need a wiki, these images are the property of the foundation if they are such a big concern to Commons Community, (I've been on common for a few years and was not aware of real concerns about those images) then the Foundation should address the issue.
Why start a "project" unless the project has scope for media outside of what can be handled internally by Foundation Office staff

Wait, so we're moving a few 100 files, creating a new project, and adding onto the burden of our already overworked technical team so we can remove two sentences from project policy? The "staying true to our colors" reasoning sounds obsessive-compulsive.
I'll ask again because I may very well be missing something here: why exactly should we start the "allrightsreserved" project?

There would be a push to expand it to fair use. I would call this a bad idea myself. Fair use should stay deprecated IMO, not encouraged with a central repository.
I think it is better to create a separate horror museum so that people wanting to create monsters can have their cake and eat it. I am aghast to see hybrid monsters with a free body and an unfree head being uploaded on Commons, and Commons having no clear rule against those.
At least Commons will be freed from such Frankenstein creatures.
"Share alike" means "thou shalt not create a hybrid monster". But people fail to see this, because at present allrightsreserved and free contents are too close to each other on the same Commons website.
