Some of the things that users might consider "revenge porn" would include
porn that is sent to them via email (either images or text - both of which
I've received), or images/comments posted to their userspace or to other
places where it was intended to come to their attention (e.g., obviously
inappropriate images posted to article talk pages). Links and "easter
eggs" leading to similar content could also be considered "revenge porn".
Context is often important. In particular, the Wikimedia projects host a
vast quantity of images and media that are appropriate to a limited number
of articles but would be inappropriate or even offensive in other
presentations.

Hi Tobias,
In addition to Maggie's attempt to explain why the numbers might seem high,
the reported percentages on slide #17 are not out of the total pool of
respondents (~3800) but out of those who reported experiencing harassment
(~1200).
e.g. as there were 740 respondents reported "revenge porn", this brings the
percentage down to 19% out of the general pool of respondents, and in the
range of up to 25% in regard to other categories of harassment.
That said, even with 18-25%, I think this is still rather on the high end
of the spectrum. My alternative theory to explain this is around the used
terminology in the survey. Terms like "revenge porn" or "doxing" are
still
comparatively new [1] [2] to casual internet users, not to mention to good
faith Wikipedia contributors, and chances that some of the respondents
confused them for something else (porn, or revenge .. etc) is not an
unlikely scenario.

Hope this helps.
