This is a question for Phoebe and/or another board member:
The board resolution on controversial content http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Resolution:Controversial_content includes the following paragraph –
*We urge the Commons community to continue to practice rigorous active curation of content, including applying appropriate categorization, removing media that does not meet existing policies and guidelines for inclusion, and actively commissioning media that is deemed needed but missing. We urge the community to pay particular attention to curating all kinds of potentially controversial content, including determining whether it has a realistic educational use and applying the principle of least astonishment in categorization and placement. *
A question that has come up repeatedly on Wikipedia is whether the last sentence (starting with the words "We urge the community ...") applies exclusively to the Commons community, or whether it applies in equal measure to other projects.
Could Phoebe or another board member briefly clarify?
Thank you, and season's greetings. Andreas
