[Wikipedia-l] Re: Image deletion

[Jay Converse]

I'd like to add something to this: One of the things that I think
causes an image to be either not tagged or mistagged is the sheer
number and variety of tags available.  I avoid uploading images
altogether because there appear to be so many different possibilities
for the images I upload.  As a sort of tangent suggestion, it'd be
nice to have a selection of tags that were a bit easier to
differentiate between for someone like myself who isn't entirely
familiar with copyright.
