I use it on a page that I am copying/moving from Wikia. --[[User:Timeshifter|Timeshifter]] ([[User talk:Timeshifter|talk]]) 00:56, 27 December 2014 (GMT)
:Orain has no issue with you keeping files on their servers, but if you can use copies from Commons only, it's preferred. Commons themselves doesn't mind keeping duplicate files in different formats, but duplicates in the same format are discouraged most of the time. If the files are from Commons, no, no cache is kept on Orain, it's derived from Commons. [[User:Arcane|Arcane]] ([[User talk:Arcane|talk]]) 03:03, 27 December 2014 (GMT)
::OK. I will use the Commons image. I deleted the duplicate image uploaded to Orain.
::Here is the description page on Orain for the Commons image:
::https://cannabis.orain.org/wiki/File:Dana_Beal_1994.jpg
::In Firefox when I right-click the full-size image, and then click "View Image Info", it says that full-size image is on the Commons:
::http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3c/Dana_Beal_1994.jpg
::I do the same thing on the thumb on this page:
::https://cannabis.orain.org/wiki/Dana_Beal
::It says the thumb is here:
::https://static.orain.org/cannabis.orain.org/images/thumb/3/3c/Dana_Beal_1994.jpg/450px-Dana_Beal_1994.jpg
::I like the fact that the full-size image is coming from the Commons. Some of those full-size images can be megabytes in size. The Commons has the server power to handle that. I avoid uploading images greater than 500 kilobytes in size to wiki farms. In order to avoid further stressing the bandwidth loads of the smaller servers. --[[User:Timeshifter|Timeshifter]] ([[User talk:Timeshifter|talk]]) 05:29, 27 December 2014 (GMT)
