This should actually be point 1, imo. However, since there appears to be no way to
correct inaccuracies, what's the point? I was interested in this project and willing
to spend some time with it because of repeated serious problems with biological
illustrations on en.Wikipedia. These problems are then transferred to other language
Wikis. But my commenting on problems with an image got me the usual
uber-Wiki-I-am-your-daddy-I-will-now-scold-you response. I'm tired off having all of
these cyber daddies who want to lord it over me that I'm not obsessed with slapping
Wikipedia policy around at people.
I can't imagine why there would not only not be a procedure in place whereby people
who are not professional illustrators, but do know biology well enough to correct
illustrations, could have a part BEFORE an image gets put up on Wikipedia.
This is apparently not the case. No part of the project currently involves accuracy,
therefore, please keep the inaccurate images off of en and all other Wikipedias and off of
commons, until this issue is addressed.
Feel free to remove me from this list. I can't imagine anything that could make my
experience on Wikipedia any worse than it already has been until now I'm faced with
watching a bunch of bad illustrations being created to make Wikipedia's science even
worse off than it is. Someone ought to refund Greenspun's money, though. I'm
betting that's not what he intended to spend it on.
