Note that there have been two recent Buzzfeed articles about Commons and
Wikipedia, by Jack Stuef, who is a writer for The Onion:
1. The Epic Battle For Wikipedia's Autofellatio Page
In the underbelly of Wikipedia is an exhibitionist subculture dedicated to
one thing: Ensuring that their penis is the visual definition of penis.
Meet Jiffman, one such exhibitionist. (This article is very probably NSFW.)

A shorter version of this article is also available in French:

Wikipedia

2. Wikipedia's Kiddie Porn Problem
Wikipedia's self-policing isn't working.
