We currently have a large number of file uploads with
no licensing
data on MW wiki! And we should really start doing something about it,
As some people may have noticed last week(ish) I went though and tag
most (if not all) of the uploads from this year that didn't have the
licensing data. The current figures stand at:
* Tagged as being from this year : 182
* From "Cat:Files with unknown copyright status" : 28 (Minus this years)
* From "Cat:Images with unknown copyright status" : 66
TOTAL TAGGED : 276 Files
This is probably because of UploadWizard - I was recently uploading a
file which was based on other file from Commons and there was no way too
choose the correct licence (PD). I had to change it afterwards. Also
category wasn't added to page although I did add it. I wasn't sure it
would reproducible and didn't reported it.
Most people probably won't notice such things as UploadWizard gives you
the code to paste to wiki in the process and so you don't even see the
image page.
Cheers,
Nux.
