Regarding the question of what can you do,
I had the experience last week of starting a new job.
I had to read through the guidelines for the organization,
which included a section on Equal Opportunity and Freedom from Harassment.
Prominent on the first page:

The more I look into it, the more it seems like it's a pointless endeavor.

I have friends who live up there. And I will be in the area in July.
I'll see if we can get decent photos of the hot springs.
Actually it might be federal land therefore we can get public domain images for
it. I need to look into that when I am online.
The best thing to do: replace the crap

Another idea -
Perhaps we can create a working list of articles that need better photos and
are using absurd sexualized images etc as their photos.
Obviously sex articles wouldn't always fall into thy category, but, I'm
thinking more stupid things like the hot springs article.
Instead of wiki

You can always directly write the legal team and ask them for input on what
they could do regarding your concerns. That's what I would do if I was

Springs does not depict any nudity in the images:

more concerned about personality rights - but, if it
Sarah, indeed, I should have been more clear. It is the Commons category
for the Hot Springs that contains the nude images, not the en.wikipedia
article.

As possibly the only person in this discussion who's been to Bagby, I'd
hasten to point out that arguably, including nudity in the article would be
the most accurate way to depict it. I've seen more naked people there than
clothed people.
But yes, I agree with Sarah -- having images of naked
The best idea I've seen!
If a subject area is lacking on Commons, the best way to go about it
is to upload more photos, so that the one or two naturist photos
blend in.
Look forward to seeing more images in that category in the future. :)

Sarah, change has to come from the top: from Sue and the board. As far as I
am concerned, they have failed abysmally.

Pete,
I'd invite you to run a Google image search for Bagby Hot Springs, with
safe search turned off. The first one hundred images include about as many
images of female nudity as the nine-image Commons category.
That is the difference between Commons demographics, and general
demographics.
I am getting plenty more results than what we have on Commons.
I am suspecting that a bad example was chosen here, because they are
HOT SPRINGS; which generally means that nudity is allowed, and given
what they are, it's generally to be expected. Unless of course we want
to turn back the clocks

Hello everyone!
I am pleased to announce the first Program Evaluation and Design Workshop!
- *When*: 22–23 June 2012
- *Where*: Budapest, Hungary
The application process is now open. We have only 20 slots available for
this workshop and the application
Gah!! That's embarrassing.
Yes, 2013.
Sadly we're severely limited on funding. If I had my way, we'd fund
everyone, but, sadly we can't. (And based on surveying in Milan, most
interested participants were willing to fund themselves or have chapters
fund them).
But it's important to let everyone
