When currently adding an image to commons, the dropdown options for the image source are missing some obvious options. As Timwi noted in a recent email:
Unfortunately the Upload page only provides the options:
- made by someone else for use on Wikipedia only
- made by someone else for non-commercial use only
and both of these options lead to a speedy-deletion warning. The most
OBVIOUS options are missing:
< * made by someone else and licensed as (whatever free/open licence)
- made by someone else and placed in the public domain
(aside: There should be a separate Component related to how media are uploaded -- there are so many pieces related to this, specifically to how it is used on wikimedia sites, that need fixing! From the need for a better submission process to the need for a better way to identify that an article needs an image, and insert one directly into a point in the article.)
