When currently adding an image to commons, the dropdown options for the image source are missing some obvious options. As Timwi noted in a recent email: > 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 licensed as (whatever free/open licence) > * made by someone else and placed in the public domain (aside: There should be a separate Component related to how media are uploaded -- there are so many pieces related to this, specifically to how it is used on wikimedia sites, that need fixing! From the need for a better submission process to the need for a better way to identify that an article needs an image, and insert one directly into a point in the article.)
Why is this reported to Bugzilla? Problems on specific projects should be reported to those projects, don’t you think? (In this case, e.g. [[commons:Village pump]].) And, anyway: I see the following licensing option in the drop-down on Commons: Not self-made, but has been released under: * Creative Commons licenses o cc-by-sa-3.0|Attribution ShareAlike 3.0 o cc-by-sa-2.5|Attribution ShareAlike 2.5 o cc-by-3.0|Attribution 3.0 o cc-by-2.5|Attribution 2.5 * Free Art License o FAL|Free Art License * Flickr photos o subst:template 2|flickrreview|subst:nld|Image from Flickr and I do not know the license o subst:template 2|cc-by-sa-2.0|flickrreview|Uploaded to Flickr under Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike 2.0 o subst:template 2|cc-by-2.0|flickrreview|Uploaded to Flickr under Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 (See http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Licenses or http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Upload?uselang=en) There is no “made by someone else for use on Wikipedia only” on any of our projects whatsoever, AFAICT [http://www.google.com/search?q="made+by+someone+else+for+use+on+wikipedia+only"]. Maybe you could be a bit more specific…?
