A conversation taking place on this articles talk page about a photo of a topless woman:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Occupy_Wall_Street#Bare-breast_photo
This is interesting to me because it's something happening *right now*(seriously, four blocks from my apartment people are camping out!) and there are some unsigned contributions by readers involved and a discussion about shock value.
-Sarah Stierch
I can't see the image in the article (maybe someone already removed?) but I only found 2 topless pictures in the category: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Occupy_Wall_Street (with 254 pictures). So I must understand that was only those 2 girls, and therefore, not all the protesters, so should not be in Wikipedia (unless it causes a controversy or something, and them can be add to illustrate the controversy itself) _____ *Béria Lima* Wikimedia Portugal http://wikimedia.pt (351) 963 953 042

She was prominently featured in early press coverage. In fact, mention of her may have been an attempt to introduce bias into their coverage. One of the striking things about coverage of the demonstrations is that the demonstrators have a message when they are interviewed by some people, but don't seem to when others cover them. Their positions and demands are something they are developing in their meetings.

Let me get that straight (sorry but NY news don't show up very much in Portuguese television)
The press who are against the protesters show that woman (btw, which one, there are two in the cat: this onehttp://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Day_8_Occupy_Wall_Street_September_24_2011_Shankbone_12.JPGor this onehttp://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Day_9_Occupy_Wall_Street_September_25_2011_Shankbone_18.JPG?) in order to "dismiss" the importance of it by portrait them as a bunch of crazy girls who only wanted to expose themselves? Is that? _____ *Béria Lima* Wikimedia Portugal http://wikimedia.pt (351) 963 953 042
