Just to mention something obvious: proofread procedure means that Commons is
hosting images of potentially offensive texts. Some time ago, I personally
posted into Commons a pro-slavery, interesting (IMHO) text. It must make
clear that such "images of texts" (ie, djvu/pdf files and usual image files
used for book illustrations) have to be excluded from any filtering. Is this
possible?
