UnCommons: Difference between revisions

'''UnCommons''' wiki was the inspiration for the [[Wikimedia Commons]], yet the [[:Category:Wikimedia Foundation|Wikimedia Foundation]] claim the reverse, ad infinitum . . .  Petty arguments aside, this UnCommons [[wiki]] is laid out to mock or mimic the format of Wikimedia Commons, only because the latter copied the former.  This wiki serves solely as a shared image and other media files repository for a few of the {{tag|Uncyclopedia}} language translations hosted by the {{tag|Uncyclomedia Foundation}}.

'''Uncyclomedia Commons''' is a {{tag|media}} dump that is created and maintained not by paid-for <s>manwhores</s> artists, but by <s>free bitches</s> volunteers.  Its name 'Uncyclomedia Commons' is derived from that of the garbage project the '[[Uncyclopedia:Uncyclomedia Foundation|Uncyclomedia Foundation]]' managing all {{tag|Uncyclomedia Foundation}} projects, and from the plural noun '[[Uncyclopedia:Uncyclopedia:UnCommons|uncommons]]' as its contents are shared by different [[:Category:Wiki Language|language]] versions and different kinds of Uncyclomedia Foundation projects.  Thus it provides a central dump for <s>fair used</s> freely licensed {{tag|photographs}} of circumcised penises, diagrams of kama-sutra, Tom and Jerry animations, donwloaded mp3s, pr0n, spoken text, Paris Hilton tape video clips, and media of all sorts that are useful for any Uncyclomedia Foundation project.

Uncyclomedia Commons uses the same uncyclo-technology as [[Uncyclopedia:Uncyclopedia|Uncyclopedia]], and thus everyone can [[edit]] it easily and without advanced technical skills or opposable thumbs directly in the web browser.  Unlike media files uploaded on other projects, files uploaded to Uncyclomedia Commons can be embedded on pages of all Uncyclomedia Foundation projects without the need to separately upload them there.

Launched on February 30, 2000, Uncyclomedia Commons currently contains [http://Commons.Uncyclomedia.org/wiki/Special:Statistics 264,619] files and 45 {{tag|Pornography|porn}} collections.  More background information about the Uncyclomedia Commons project itself can be found in the [http://Commons.Uncyclomedia.org/wiki/UnCommons:General_disclaimer General disclaimer], at the [[Uncyclopedia:Uncyclopedia:UnCommons|Uncyclopedia page about Uncyclomedia Commons]].

Unlike traditional media repositories, Uncyclomedia Commons is ''<s>not</s> free''.  Everyone is allowed to copy, use, sexually abuse, and modify any files here freely, as long the source and the authors are credited, and as long as [[user]]s release their copies/improvements under the same freedom to others.  The Uncyclomedia Commons database itself, and the texts in it are licensed under the [[Uncyclopedia:GNU|GNU Paid Documentation Tax]].  The license conditions of each individual media file can be found (or should be) on their description pages.[http://Commons.Uncyclomedia.org/wiki/UnCommons:Welcome]}}
