Wales Supports Purging Porn From Wikipedia
Larry Sanger writes "Jimmy Wales recently took a bold position against pornography on Wikimedia Commons: 'Wikimedia Commons admins who wish to remove from the project all images that are of little or no educational value but which appeal solely to prurient interests have my full support.' Wales also restarted the "Commons:Sexual content" policy page. His basic complaint is that Wikimedia Commons hosts too much unnecessary porn, and he wants to get rid of it. He underscored his seriousness this way, stating that we can expect 'a strong statement' from the WMF soon: 'If the Wikimedia Foundation wants to declare that it is OK for Commons to be a porn host, they can do that, and I'll not be able to continue. That isn't going to happen, though, and in fact you should expect a strong statement from the Board and/or Sue in the next few days.'" (More, below.)
Sanger continues: "This comes about a month after I originally posted my report about depictions of child sexual molestation on Wikimedia Foundation servers to the FBI, which Slashdot duly ripped to shreds (as only Slashdot can), and a little over a week after the FoxNews.com story. The latter coverage reported that one of my senators, and my representative to Congress, had forwarded the matter to the FBI's Assistant Director of Congressional Affairs. I'm happy to be able to congratulate Jimmy Wales for his good judgment on this, and I look forward to the larger Wikimedia community approaching these issues with a little more sanity."
At least it's not sheep.
Hey, some of us like the professional stuff. Amateur porn has too many pimples and zits.
"Necessary" is a concept that varies according to each person. To me, my 47 porn DVDs are the necessary amount.
Oh, thanks, I'd forgotten about the Sex for Edits storm in a B-cup.
Presumably all you have to do to get your content the Jimbo stamp of approval is to "fuck his brains out all night". Don't all queue up at once.
If you were blocking sigs, you wouldn't have to read this.
So what have you got against amputee porn in particular?
To have a right to do a thing is not at all the same as to be right in doing it
Amputee porn... yuck! Must be removed!

I think you mean "...but I know it when I come across it."

I was going to ask how you manage to resist and remain celibate for life, now I know.
Would you like the answer expressed in Libraries of Congress, or Pallets of Kleenex?
Finally had enough. Come see us over at https://soylentnews.org/
Is there a comprehensive list of the disputed site? It's raining today and I can evaluate each page to see if it's truely pornographic. Thanx in advance. //gets lotion
