Hi.
A friend of mine just tried to upload an image to Wikipedia which was
given to him by another friend.
Unfortunately the Upload page only provides the options:
* made by someone else for use on Wikipedia only
* made by someone else for non-commercial use only
and both of these options lead to a speedy-deletion warning. The most
OBVIOUS options are missing:
* made by someone else and licenced as (whatever free/open licence)
* made by someone else and placed in the public domain
Because of this, he is forced to use a lower-quality image or no image
at all (or to lie by claiming to be the author of the work).
I think this should be fixed as soon as possible so that normal,
reasonable people can upload normal, reasonable images.
Very frustrated,
Timwi
