I can see a least 5 pages on Commons where this kind of matter can and should be raised. But Jee chose to send a mail on this mailing list. Jee is a seasoned contributor to Commons, and he has found those pages in the past. He knows our policies and this email was (in my opinion) an attempt to surf on the "Commons is broken" trend occuring around here.
Yes concerns can be raised outside the community of commonites, when those concerns coudl directly affect other projects. This is an internal problem, where Jee tried to enforce his vision of COM:IDENT, was reverted twice, and went on an bureaucrat's talk page to ask for revdel, outside of Commons usual ways... When he didn't get what he asked, he sent this email, and quitted: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Jkadavoor&diff...
Now, I'm not really at ease with Odder's decision, and I think we (as a community) need to discuss that, in a civilized manner. This could have (and will, I hope ) happened on the pages meant for that, on Commons, without any unnecessary drama.

What a kind communication! It gives me the impression that you are afraid to discuss matters outside of Commons.
The special role of Commons as a joint resource should occationally allow concerns to be raised outside the community of commonites. If concerns are not of a general nature, please at least deal with them in a friendly manner.

You didn't get the answer you wanted, so you're forum shopping to get the "right one" ? How nice of you. Le 20 mai 2014 17:37, "Jeevan Jose" jkadavoor@gmail.com a écrit :

Is this the way Commons:Photographs of identifiable people works?
