I feel like this image from the same author: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Futanari.png might be crossing the lines. Given Niabot's user page loudly railing against Commons being "censored", I'd say the issue is less "art" and more "lets see who we can shock and/or piss off." -Dan On

Ah, sorry, I missed the point that it was on the Wikipedias solely as a Commons POTD, and that it hadn't been selected by the wikipedias themselves. On 16 May 2011 10:10 PM, "Robert Rohde" wrote: > 2011/5/16 David Richfield : >> How on earth can this become the POTD on any Wikipedia? It's >> tole

Incidentally, that little piece of original art is also the picture of the day on several Wikipedias' main pages; among them the Russian and Bulgarian Wikipedias. The image itself has been nominated for deletion in Commons by User:AndreasPraefcke, as out of scope. A. --- On Mon, 16/5/11, Andrea

I would like to question something: Why you people are not discussing that in commons? Because here people can give opinions, in Gendergap mailing list too, but the people who can actually change the policy are the commons editors. So, is not better spend all that talk in the wiki? _ *Béria
