Template talk:Permission from license selector

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've revised the template to be shorter and less lectury. The previous version was a bit long-winded about why this is a speedy deletion reason; now, it's hidden behind a link they can look at if they want to, and it's more clear about what to do to fix the problem.

Good. I re-added the part about not uploading any more images with this tag, and added a CC option. Stifle (talk) 15:32, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

What do you think about adding, at the bottom, Administrators: please, as a courtesy, do not delete this page in the first 15 minutes after its creation, to allow the uploader time to read the tag and attempt to correct the license. Mangojuice^talk 16:29, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

I would be very hesitant. If the uploader has the chance to lie about the license, it could easily be abused. On the other hand, posting a message on the subject here and on WP:AN would not be too bad. Stifle (talk) 21:57, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

By offering the option in the first place, people may be misled into thinking that such a license is acceptable. Setting this trap is not nice at all. AlbertCahalan 09:29, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

But it's necessary, or people will just pick another license that seems best. People expect this option to exist. There are warnings that it's not acceptible. Mangojuice^talk 14:44, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
