I thought I'd note for those interested in the latest from the

I'm sorry we are putting more energy into what should be banned from commons
instead of searching for mechanisms to protect those readers who would prefer
to stay away from such content.
I mean, I understand the problem with paedophilia, and why it needs to be kept
outside wikimedia projects, b
It concerns me greatly that Commons seems unable to deal with a user who, at
various times, has attacked a Jew with anti-semitic cartoons, has thrown
racist abuse at a German theen harassed that user - and still has numbers of

No, br.wikipedia.org is the Breton Wikipedia. I think Virgilio is
referring to pt.wp as the Brazilian Wikipedia because it is or he
perceives it to be dominated by Brazilians.

Sorry, I didn't mean to confuse you or anybody. I thought people

all most pious statements to the contrary, the uncontroversial truth
is that a small group of 16 editors decided that all titles of

I had a rather different impression of events around Pieter. I remember several
times where he got admins on his case because he nominated copyvios for
deletion which said admins had uploaded to Commons.

You see, there already someone with another POV on the matter of that
user. I think this is the "correct" POV.

So what? If he does, he didn't show it as far as Portuguese is
