Was there any more input from legal about this? The page currently has a note that legal is looking at it, but it seems Rilke is waiting on that feedback.
Regards, Sam

Hi Lennart,
Thank you for calling this out. You raise an extremely valid point. I have asked Luis to follow this project, so I am including him here so he can follow. I'm also including Michelle, who historically has been dealing with these kinds of reports for legal.
Appreciate your raising the issue,
Geoff

+1 on SJ's comment, and I think Pete made some excellent points on the talk page. For instance: How would this affect the legal team's paid staff time if we place a big red button under each image? I have cc:ed Geoff since he may not be aware of the question.
But I would also like to say that this is very well worth checking out. This is the template that is suggested right now (feel free to edit):

Interesting. Thanks for the heads-up! SJ

Sorry to those who are tired of the image/consent discussions, but just wanted to bring this to this list's attention as well.
I'm tagging this thread with "[Commons]" and suggest others do the same in future to make it easier for people who do not want to discuss Commons or who feel inundated with the subject matter to filter these messages. Also, if you're using Google Mail, you can "mute" a thread (under the "More" options after you open the thread) and you won't see any future responses in your inbox -- other email clients have similar features.
Quick notes about an interesting development:
- User:Rillke on Commons has started prototyping a gadget that could
be used to simplify reporting of various issues with images with a simple "Flag this image" workflow. This discussion is on the Commons Village Pump.
I've brought that discussion to the attention of WMF legal. Note: It's not like the current workflow is completely broken -- the Commons:Contact_us flow is actually pretty good -- but a nicer UI and more prominent placement could help. The current workflow also does not provide an option for consent issues.
- I've summarized the current state of his prototype here:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Reporting_abuse
On the talk page I've also recommended that consent to be displayed in an image be considered in the reporting options.
I'm sure Rillke would appreciate any active development help with the feature, as well as continued feedback and encouragement (WikiLove?) which is crucial for volunteer motivation.
Cheers, Erik
