Actually, I found the descriptions well written and helpful. I don't quite understand Sarah's objection.

I apologize Sarah. I thought that descriptions of the images would allow those who cannot view them to evaluate the contents if they wish. It will not happen again.

Hi, 

I'd like to ask that people don't use this mailing list to get into in depth explanations of what the images look like. Simply saying "NSFW" is good enough for me. 

I can tell by reading the captions 1) I don't want to look at them 2) I don't want to hear what they look like. 

It's as uncomfortable for me to read and hear the descriptions, as it is for me to see the descriptions. 

Thanks, 

Sarah

who is no longer a moderator here, but had to say something.

Bling-bling - table.jpg (An image of a young, thin, nude woman on hands and knees and long black hair obscuring here in side view. A vase is placed on the small of her back and rhinestones on her flank read "<table>") is in use on the fr.wikipedia's article on sexual objectification.

Torso of nude woman with facebook like button.jpg is being used on a Russian wikinews article about Facebook's like button. I guess the fact that it's painted onto a nude woman is a bonus? It's also used on pt.wikipedia's body painting article.

Outer labia piercing.jpg (Close up of a female crotch wearing pink panties pushed aside to reveal a large ring piercing through the outer labia. Another person's hand, with "<a>"  written in rhinestones, is pulling on the ring. Get it! Link!) is used on a number of genital piercing articles.

Need to stop. Too depressing.

I'm at work and can't really get away with looking at the gallery images from here without trouble.  However...

Has anyone looked at them to see where (if anywhere) they are in use on projects?

I'm sure EVula knew that Commoners wouldn't abide his deletion of
their fap galleries. They've never liked it much before, and this
gallery is even nerdy! Double whammy. The uploader freaked out with
inspiring rapidity.

The arguments given in a previous deletion review are instructive;
only the most mechanical reading of the project scope policy, in the
way most charitable to retaining pornographic collections, were even
considered. The closer said, paraphrasing: "Pornographic? Sure, don't
care. Objectifies women? Sure, don't care. Not useful on another
Wikimedia project? Sure, don't care. It was on Flickr, so they must
have consented to publication on Commons, case closed."
