Add arxiv.org to the wgCopyUploadsDomains whitelist of Wikimedia Commons
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Hi.
First, let me be clear -- not all the content on arxiv.org is under a free license.

arxiv.org often provides research papers and media files under a free license.
For example: this, and this.

So could you please whitelist it so that it becomes easier to upload?
Thank you.
