User blog comment:Ciencia Al Poder/If image attribution is against the licenses, now no image description pages at all/@comment-429401-20101123133226

Interesting post Ciencia.

I'ved noticed a lot of images getting uploaded here on central which appear to be just uploaded for personal use or even not used at all that are in rhe category:Files with unknown copyright status now numbering over 400, including a number uploaded by staff !! A few occasional get removed as spam or unsuitable but alot appear to be ignored.

A lot of wikia wikis rely on stretching the Fairuse rational to the limits & abit more. I norice some wikis are vey strict and have a strong image policy and complex templates, but the basic templates are very basic in the starter wikis, with some that might be expected missing.

The Image upload features need updating so they facilitate the addition of the creator and/or suitable backlinks to the source or use a feature like the import-tool for images from flickr which features a template that is filled in on upload automatically. All "Add image" buttons should be set to not upload unless a option is selected by default. Tags in the list of options could have atooltip popup examination attached.
