I spent a considerable amount of time talking to the
person on enwp
who didn't want his images on commons. He was only ever to
substantiate his position with two arguments:
(1) He can't watchlist pages on commons from Enwp so he misses
changes. When it was pointed out to him that you can enable commons to
email you on watchlist updates, his response was "why should I have
to?".
(2) He believes that commons is nothing more than a repository of
penis images. He wasn't swayed by people pointing out that there are
plenty of penis images on enwp too, and that commons has 1.75 millon
images quite a few of which aren't penises.
Problem (3) is his clear lack of understanding of what "free content"
means. And problem (4) is he somehow became an admin on en:wp without
this becoming apparent. And problem (5) is how many other admins on
the thread agreed he should be able to do things completely contrary
to the project goals. But anyway.
