Commons talk:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Willowbl00
Hello, wondering what your concerns are for the conceptual drawings I've uploaded are. Nearly all are expressions of talks and panels at conferences, a different way of representing the ideas (often to accompany typed notes or photographs). Many of these works appear alongside the conference talk page with the talk video and/or transcript. The images are used in blog posts by the likes of the MIT Media Lab, Berkman Center for Internet and Society, and countless conference-specific settings (including Wikimania!).
- One such appeared in a well-lauded security paper from Citizen Lab on malware injected through non-https-served videos (more widely read in the WaPo overview
- Drawings often appear on the Center for Civic Media blog
- Before I was uploading these to the commons, images often appeared via other embed functions, such as in this post by Jonathan Stray on Build Peace. I prefer Commons because I'm entirely smitten with 1) having the assumption be that of CC, as per Commons, and 2) versioning being visible to others.
I'm new to contributing to the Commons (and have far more contributions here than edits to Wikipedia), after an excellent person at Wikimania 2014 showed me how to add things, and advocated that I include my work here. I understand there are things that I don't yet understand - do these need better citations? Categorization? Etc. But I do think that these alternative expressions of knowledge are important and useful. I've written more fully about the topic here.
After these nuances are better understood, I'd like to start contributing the animated explanations of infosec and technology in disaster and humanitarian response I tend to also create, so others have an easier time of pulling and remixing than they currently do from YouTube and Vimeo.
