carol,

en.wiki aproved that, Commons didn't. You can't use a rule from one wiki in another. IF - and that is a BIG if, if commons community approve such kind of rules, you people can remove all comments you can find....

Until there, is censure, and you people will not do it while i'm there to watch commons RC.

Imagine um mundo onde é dada a qualquer pessoa a possibilidade de ter livre acesso ao somatório de todo o conhecimento humano. É isso o que estamos a fazer.

Racist, homophobic and anti-semitic comments are certainly criticized and people ask for their removal. A pattern of such comments could get one banned. The same should be true for obviously sexist comments. In fact, it's here
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Civil#Identifying_incivility - after a long debate with some editors strongly opposed to adding such sexist comments.

• (b) personal attacks, including racial, ethnic, sexual, gender-related and religious slurs, and derogatory references to groups such as social classes or nationalities;

Those types of comments are a lot worse than unnecessary. They create a
sexualized environment that is exclusionary to anyone who isn't a
heterosexual male. If this doesn't make sense to you, please read through
http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Sexualized_environment

These types of comments should be removed on sight. If you see them,
please delete them or email me. Thanks.

Béria, you've rightly asked that people not generalize their
responses, where they assume everyone feels as they do. But the same
applies to you. You're not offended by these comments. You would see
their removal as censorship. Others disagree, and their arguments are
valid too.

It would be interesting if we could try to find common ground.

I agree with you that it's important not to be over-sensitive. But a
big problem is that women have been taught for hundreds of years that
they're just over-reacting when they say they see discrimination.

So the question is: how do we create an environment that's welcoming
for as many groups as possible -- including groups who are sensitive
to perceived discrimination, and groups who are sensitive to perceived
censorship?

Sarah
