I'm only warning a commons user that canvassing is not accepted. And since you need to be warned on wiki, i did that. And btw, you don't recognize any name, but I do (i will not mention here because that would be rude to then)
So, again, you will stop that idiot crusade against this picture and we can move on to discuss the original propose of that list, or we will need to change that to the Adm noticeboard in commons? _____ *Béria Lima* Wikimedia Portugal http://wikimedia.pt/ (351) 963 953 042

The community is already discussing this matter Andreas.
What you are doing is, since your "vote" is not going the way you want (the picture, apparentely, will remain as a FP) you are canvassing votes here, so people can go there are vote to delist the image.
That, my dear, is pure canvass, and is not allowed in any project.
So, again, stop do that.
Dear Beria,
You would have a leg to stand on if anyone, at all, who had read my posts on this or any other mailing list, had voted in my favour in these community discussions.
I am not aware that anyone has. Of the 5 people who have voted to delist, I do not recognise a single name from the mailing lists. And I believe if anyone here had decided to vote, they would be experienced enough, and have enough integrity, to disclose along with their vote that they became aware of the discussion through a mailing list post.
Further:
If list members had commented, which they have not, and the vote were going against you, which it is not, you would be well within your rights to contest the result, and ask the community to look into any undue effect mailing list discussions may have had on the discussion. However, nothing like this has happened.
As it is, you are out of line to threaten me on my Commons user page for participating in discussions on this list.
Regards, Andreas
