If you don't particularly object to that image http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=World_Naked_Gardening_Day&old… then I would suggest you have very poor taste and very little sense of what an encyclopedia, even an online encyclopedia, should look like.

welcome to censorpedia we fight probalbly sexism with our own middle-age-view on the world and oppress any non appreciated right for free expression than we told the critics idiots

I agree with Carol. I have nothing against nude pictures (God knows how many fights i got into because of them) but that picture is more about the obvious sexual position than the gardening (which is the point of this article.) _____ *Béria Lima* *Imagine um mundo onde é dada a qualquer pessoa a possibilidade de ter livre acesso ao somatório de todo o conhecimento humano.

I agree with what Thomas said in his explanation for removing the image and also with what Carol said on the Discussion page - why doesn't someone go out into their garden naked with a trowel and have their picture taken enjoying doing the gardening - something with a better balance between plants and flesh? [?] Hmmm. Perhaps a group from Wikiproject Biology or even Wikiproject Earth Sciences could offer their services. I thought of doing it myself (this new idea of naked gardening has some appeal) but by the time the idea came to me, alas, darkness had fallen and there was no article "World Naked Gardening Day Night".
