"Not censored" means just that. If you aren't happy that some images that<br>
offend you (or you find offensive on others' behalf) might be displayed<br>
then you should not use Wikimedia Commons.<br>
<br></blockquote><div>Thats the type of response that is driving people away from Commons, many people spend a lot of time and effort trying to get GLAM organisations to donate to our collections but these places have strict contractual conditions on what employees can view and such images are outside those conditions. That doesnt mean we shouldnt host them or even consider them for FP, but value do we place on a couple of cartoon images getting to appear on the main page compared to the donation 10,000s of images.<br>
