[Wikipedia-l] Re: Some images need to be deleted...

[Michael Snow]

Secretlondon and Morwen did a wonderful job trying to get an idea of the 
problem. I doubt whether they got a truly representative sample of 
images on Wikipedia, nor did they claim to, but obviously we have some 
that don't belong.

And Secretlondon is also doing great work to try and get permission for 
some of the images we have a hard time finding...

Not yet. If everything on Wikipedia is GFDL, can we make an argument 
that people who give permission to Wikipedia are implicitly agreeing to 
GFDL, because that's the only kind of use we have? I think we want to do 
our best to save the stuff we have some kind of permission for, before 
deciding that permission is worthless.

Also, we need a truce on deleting images until we have a better 
consensus. Any deletions need to follow our usual procedures.
