#[[Special:Upload]] has a dead link to an image use policy. In particular, I was trying to look up the licensing situation for images. There are certainly over 1,000 (maybe over 2,000) Seattle images I've released under GFDL on Wikimedia Commons. I'd be glad to release them under another license that still requires attribution, but not under a license that allows reuse without attribution. Is there a way we can make that work here?

:: Now that we are on Wikia, the license has changed to GFDL. Hopefully that won't cause issues with any the contributors. So if you have other text or images released under the GFDL, it should be fine to use them here. And yeah I don't see any reason to not upload high-res photos. -- [[User:Matias|matias]] ([[User Talk:Matias|talk]]) 17:59, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Revision as of 17:59, 30 April 2007

The coffee shop is kind of a "lounge area" where anyone can ask questions about the site or anything else, and anyone else should feel free to respond. Here we can also discuss what SeattleWiki should be. Click here to start a new topic

  1. Special:Upload has a dead link to an image use policy. In particular, I was trying to look up the licensing situation for images. There are certainly over 1,000 (maybe over 2,000) Seattle images I've released under GFDL on Wikimedia Commons. I'd be glad to release them under another license that still requires attribution, but not under a license that allows reuse without attribution. Is there a way we can make that work here?
