Proposal 1
[edit]--MichaelMaggs (talk) 06:48, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
- Please discuss the above proposal here
- Yes this is a good idea. I'm not sure there is much technical difference but respect for our subjects should have as much weight as respect for photographer's licences. Colin (talk) 11:49, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
- Sure, why not. -- Beland (talk) 18:16, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, absolutely. --Conti|✉ 15:47, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
- No, that's too much of a blank cheque for me. Developing a policy is certainly a good goal, but I think there are enough grey areas here that we might better served by a guideline (or by some mixture of policies and guidelines) than by a policy. --Avenue (talk) 15:46, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
- Weak oppose Consent issues are too much of a gray area that constantly needs interpretation and application of common sense, I don't think that this needs to be a policy. I also disagree with Colin that consent issues are as important as copyright issues; copyright issues are important because of the very reason Commons exists (to provide free media), while consent issues aren't (though they are an important moral issue - I am not disagreeing with that). darkweasel94 13:32, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
This topic appears to be of lesser interest/priority to the community than some of the others in this review, and I propose that we should close it down now. That will allow us in part 2 of the review to focus our full attention on the most important and/or contentious issues. This issue may well come up again later, though. Please comment at Commons talk:Project scope/Update 2013/Stage 2. --MichaelMaggs (talk) 18:11, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
