My suggestion is to change the name to "Upload media", and I think so because it's just a place to upload media, not files in general. This may sound disagreeable, but it probably would make more sense. Gamingforfun365 (talk) 04:08, 26 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You've actually got a point there. For those of us who know the Mediawiki system, "file" and "media" are pretty much synonymous, but newcomers often seem not to realize that a page as such isn't a "file" and doesn't get "uploaded", so some of them end up here when they are just trying to create their first new article. I'm not sure we can easily modify all the relevant strings in the user interface, such as the main link in the left toolbar, but I might go through the wording of this upload script to see if it needs clarification.

When one selects the free license, own work option, one is only presented with four choices: CC-BY-SA-3.0 with optional GFDL, CC-BY-3.0 or CC0. Should we not add the version 4 licenses to the menu given that they have several advantages in terms of internationalisation, ease of reuse and legible legal code? How would we do that?

Thanks for pointing this out. I wasn't aware there were new versions beyond 3.0. Do we have some kind of guidance on whether users should be given both choices, or should we simply move to offering only 4.0? Implementing the change would be easy enough; we'd just change MediaWiki:FileUploadWizard.js, where it says var licenseLists = {…. Fut.Perf. ☼ 22:53, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Commons upload wizard offers the choice, defaulting to BY-SA-4.0, so I'd be happy with that. I'm not aware of any official guidance, however. BethNaught (talk) 23:01, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Under "this is a free work" I have Qs about 2 options:

• "I can provide evidence that they have agreed to release it under a free license, for free use by anybody and for any purpose."
  • what is a free license ? How can we tell when something is under one?
• "This file is from a free published source."
  • what does this mean, what is a free published source? A non-pay site?
• "its author has explicitly placed it under a free license"
  • so what do we need to do, find the person the pic is of saying 'this is free license' ?
    • who is author? the person depicted or one who took photo? what if we don't know who took it? like it's just on a company site

I think most sources of images don't address this stuff, makes finding images hard. Ranze (talk) 11:59, 4 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
