Hi Fæ - how much point is there in uploading these to Commons? Most of them are cr@p quality (very heavily pixellated / bad jpeg compression), and none give any information on location and minimal information on identity, which makes them pretty much worthless. Seems to me there is a need to be very selective over what is uploaded from there. - [[User:MPF|MPF]] ([[User talk:MPF|talk]]) 10:38, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

:I think that anyone who takes time to browse through [[:Category:Public-domain-image.com]] will find plenty of interest. Some images are not great quality, but 'most' is a bit of an exaggeration. I am not uploading any more from the site, this was more of a one-off upload. If the community does make use of these (we can test them after six months or a year using Glamourous), then that's all to the public good. The site lacked decent categorization, so yes that was a challenge for this upload. I went ahead based on there being plenty of interesting content that the community can dip into, and have fun categorizing later.
