From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

All free media should be at Commons. This is more easily said than done.

  • The white area : Obviously free files with proper source, permission etc should be properly moved to Commons.
  • The black area : The obvious non-free files should either be marked as fair use or nominated for deletion.
  • The gray area : Is going to suck in all of our time (Pareto principle)

Two approaches working side by side:

  1. Work on old files:
    • Do cherry picking (by uploader, by category, etc) to quickly and properly transfer lots of free files
    • Hunt down obvious unfree files (for example User:MGA73/No license)
    • Leave the questionable files be for the moment, these will seriously slow down the whole process
  2. Work on new files:
    • First get of the obvious unfree files
    • Properly transfer the obvious free files
    • Check the remaining files

A lot of uploaders already started uploading to Commons instead of uploading to their local Wikipedia's. Are you one of them?
