+1 on SJ's comment, and I think Pete made some excellent points on the talk page. For instance: How would this affect the legal team's paid staff time if we place a big red button under each image? I have cc:ed Geoff since he may not be aware of the question. But I would also like to say that

Thanks - I noticed from the diffs on Wikipedia that they are trying to report something as a scoop that is actually pretty old news... I am just astonished that it is possible to patent a human gene! 2013/5/17, Leigh Honeywell le...@hypatia.ca: Natural News is full of bizarre conspiracy theory

Hi Lennart, Thank you for calling this out. You raise an extremely valid point. I have asked Luis to follow this project, so I am including him here so he can follow. I'm also including Michelle, who historically has been dealing with these kinds of reports for legal. Appreciate your

For anybody interested: I've nominated the photo I mentioned a while back, a portrait of Karen Stollznow, for deletion. To me this seems like a clear case of a file that Commons policy requires be deleted, but that was not.

By the way, I am constantly surprised at the tone in some of the discussions on Commons. I rarely meet that normally on Swedish WIkipedia. But I am not naive about it. I know that it exists. Some time ago, I wrote a blog post about how there is actually several encyclopedias all rolled together

They look like they're some sort of odd art project on the commoditisation of female sexuality in the technology industry (for instance, booth babes and magazine ads with half naked women promoting new gadgets), rather than an outright attempt to titillate. Are random artistic images in Commons
