How much is "mutilated"? A scratch? Ten scratches? A hundred scratches? St Sebastian? http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sebastia.jpg This is what I mean by "magical categories". "I know it when I see it" isn't enough. "Lots of us know it when we see it" is a blatant neutrality violation. You need to be able to answer these sort of questions if you advocate a filtering system involving any assessment of image content. - d. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
