[Commons-l] intelligence in flagging

Wed Jul 12 00:07:36 UTC 2006

For more experienced users not selecting a licence is actually easier if you 
know exactly which template to use, because you can prepare the complete 
description page in the upload form, without having to move the category to 
the bottom or correcting a too generic tag afterwards. A show preview button 
whould be nice though.

Although I agree with Brianna/pfctdayelise that people should look into 
licenses before uploading, I think having a "I don't know option" is 
preferable over people just randomly picking a license. When just 1 in 100 
people is honest so be it, but that at least makes it obvious that more 
attention is needed. Too many people just slap on a license without thinking 
or take things too easily for granted, see the World Cup images from Flickr 
which are obviously copyvio's.
