Hi folks, I run several projects over in Wikieducator. Using some inter-wiki magic, the folks at Wikieducator can use Wikimedia images simply by using the file names that are used here. My digital coyote project: http://wikieducator.org/Digital_Coyote and my streams project: http://wikieducator.org/Streams/home are both critically dependent on images that are hosted on Wikimedia Commons. The system has not failed me yet, but I do have questions: Other than pointless pornography being removed, are there criteria for removing images that I should be aware of? For example, my students have uploaded literally hundreds of images of coyote and dog skulls; different angles; different specimens from different locations and breeds. Are there administrators looking at the collection of images and deciding that perhaps Wikimedia Commons does not need 320 coyote skull images? Or can I happily continue to build these OERs secure in the knowledge that the images will be hosted here?
