Commons talk:General disclaimer

[edit] Awkward wording?

"Wikimedia Commons is an online open-content media repository, that is, a voluntary association of individuals and groups who are developing a common resource different media." ... common resource different media seems awkward to me. Since this is a legal disclaimer I'm loathe to willy nilly edit it but I think it needs an "of" at the least. Perhaps (with italicised new words):

Wikimedia Commons is an online open-content media repository, that is, a voluntary association of individuals and groups who are developing a common resource to house different media."  ?? ++Lar: t/c 13:46, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Lar, You are right and your wording is better. Why not change it? --BozMo (talk) 10:44, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

 Done. --MichaelMaggs (talk) 18:29, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] GFDL, and rewriting

The references to the GFDL in this document need to be updated because of the relicensing. Also much of the page as currently written is confusing. I'm considering redrafting it on a subpage, but won't go ahead unless someone thinks it's worthwhile. the wub "?!" 11:35, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
