[Sinosplice: Life] The Wikimedia Commons Stroke Order Project | Sinosplice: Life: It wouldn’t be a small task to make and share these, though (although much smaller than doing it the Wikimedia way). So if we are going to provided them for free, it’ll have to wait until later.

[Witty's Blog] Content Liberation: their photographs to Wikimedia Commons (and any subsequent users of our free-culture content) they might be happy for the increased publication but also unhappy about the potential for their photographs to be “misquoted”. It is their job, after all, to make sure people don’t just have access to knowledge but that they are given it in an appropriate and correct way.[1]

[Abracadabran] Kunstformen der Natur - Wikimedia Commons: and enjoy on wikimedia more than 100 wonderful and fantastic illustrations from biologist Ernst Haeckel to haunt your vision of what was use to be on earth in 1904.

[Wikimedia UK Blog] Milestone: 5 Years, 5 Million Media Files on Wikimedia Commons ...: Wikimedia Commons is also currently receiving influxes of nearly 10,000 media files from two recent free photography competitions of public domain works held by museums: Wikipedia Loves Art was held in museums world-wide, including the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and Wiki Loves Art was held in museums across the Netherlands. Wikimedia UK is currently planning Britain Loves Wikipedia, a similar event to take place in museums across the UK, aimed at making Britain’s cultural heritage more visible, available freely across the world via the internet.

[Doubting to shuo] The Wikipedia Commons Stroke Order Project Needs More Traditional ...: If you’ve checked out many online Chinese dictionaries or websites on learning Chinese, you’ve seen a variety of ways to present characters’ proper stroke order.

[sethiscreative.com] (UK National Portrait Gallery vs. Wikimedia) vs. the Public Domain ...: However it is important to note that before these images got out onto the net the NPG did not try to control their distribution by asserting copyright but simply by not making them available, knowing (one assumes) that once they were available their copyright claims would be without much effect no matter how much these are backed by British law.

[Nina Paley's Blog] Why I don't like “Non-Commercial” licenses: If an additional schism arises, it is not because of the advocacy against -NC licensing, since the value system which rejects the restriction clearly predates the Creative Commons movement. Rather, it would be advocacy in favor of forming an explicit community of -NC users which would create a third way, a new ideology that does not presently exist in an identifiable form.

[The Idee Blog] The Idee Blog » Blog Archive » Wikimedia Commons & TinEye: Since the launch of TinEye, we have had a great response from the Wikimedia Commons image community.

[ragesoss] ragesoss » Wikipedia in theory (Marxist edition): The Wikimedia community, in particular, has taken a dim view of anything that smacks of mere social networking (or worse, MMORPGs), as if cultural capital is important but social capital is not.  But from a Marxist perspective, it’s easier to see how intertwined the two are and how both are necessary to maintain a healthy free culture ecosystem.

[Nina Paley's Blog] My Wikimedia Rant « Nina Paley's Blog: should not be a criterion here.)
