Upload Wizard

  • Wikimedia major upload tmeplates. Need someone to compile a list of the principle ways media at Wikimedia Commons and Wikipedia are tagged and to help put together the "Wikimedia Commons or Wikipedia" section of the Wizard.
  • Public domain wizard. Need someone who can spend probably a full day to go to a university law library that has this book (most have it) and make notes about the public domain laws of every country discussed in the two volume set. This will form the research base of the public domain upload wizard. Ideally, two people should do this so all info can be verified before we go making a system.
