[Foundation-l] Re: Fair use on English Wikinews

[Erik Moeller]

With the agreement of the Board, I have enabled local uploads on the 
English edition of Wikinews.

I ask other language editions that are interested in fair use to 
formulate a similar whitelist policy for cases in which fair use should 
be allowed. The emphasis is on *whitelist* - any case not covered by the 
policy should be quickly deleted.

Once a policy is developed, please report it on foundation-l or 
wikinews-l to move forward with enabling local uploads. A brief summary 
of your policy in English would be very helpful.

For reference, the English fair use policy is at:

As before, the Wikimedia Commons should be used for any free content media.

All best,

Erik
