Pete,
I am sure that I speak on behalf of all of the Commons community when
I say that it is disheartening to continually hear the mantra "commons
is broken", when that could not be further from the truth. Your blog
post, helps to present some of that reality, so I thank you, both on
my behalf and on behalf of the Commons community. I will have some
comments later on a couple of issues.
Risker,
Of course the image still shows up on search for electric toothbrush.
If you read the closure on that DR, which I wrote in conjunction with
3 other admins, the issue is very clear. It's not a Commons problem,
but a WMF problem.
Cheers
The solution to the problem is entirely within the control of Commons -
recategorize the image to "improvised vibrators" instead of "electric
toothbrush" and you're done. I wouldn't dare do it myself, it would be the
kind of "provocative" activity from "someone who doesn't really
understand
Commons" that could result in my being blocked. I do understand that much
about Commons and its culture.
