Hi all;
There are more issues with images in German Wikipedia.
It is funny how German Wikipedia doesn't allow images[1] (image added by me[2] in de:, and later removed by other[3]) because they follow the most restrictive copyright law from Germany, Austria and Switzerland[note 1], but they are now against giving people the choice to hide images.
I think that we can do a nice move here. We can enable image filter in German Wikipedia for all those who don't want to see copyrighted-images-for-German-law, meanwhile allowing other people to see all Commons splendour. Using the image filter to improve the rights of readers of German Wikipedia. Very cool, right? ; )

[note 1] I heard there are German speaking users outside Europe, right? I heard too that, from Germany, you can follow interwiki and see that images in other Wikipedias, right? So, what is the sense of that policy? Are not the servers in USA?

Dear readers
Yesterday, on September 15th 2011, the German Wikipedia closed the poll (Meinungsbild) "Einführung persönlicher Bildfilter". [1] It asked the question if the personal image filter can be introduced or if it should not be introduced.
A strong majority of 86% percent voted to not allow the personal image filter [2] , despite the fact that the board already decided to introduce the feature.
The questions are:
- Will the board or the WMF proceed with the introduction of the
personal image filter against the will of it's second largest community?
- If the WMF/board does not care about the first question. Will it
affect the way the personal image filter will be implemented? For example: Not for all projects. A different implementation as suggested inside the "image filter referendum".
- Will there be an attempt to follow this example and to question other
communities the same question?
