Add researcharchive.calacademy.org to the wgCopyUploadsDomains allowlist of Wikimedia Commons
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

The Species collections from the California Academy of Sciences provides a large collection of images of their collected specimens shared with a license compatible with Wikimedia commons (eg. CC0). I would like to request adding the researcharchive.calacademy.org domain to the allowlist of Wikimedia Commons

An example: http://researcharchive.calacademy.org/image_db/ichtypes/radio/hi/44379-r.jpg
Metadata on that image with license information: https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/473286373

Note: the domain actually being added is monarch.calacademy.org, researcharchive.calacademy.org images seem to redirect to it.
