Media files that vioate a living person's dignity is certainly in scope
of the resolution. Because it is a comment and remark to that person,
and in a way that violates the resolution.

Hi!
Sorry, I can't understand how resolution about BLP may be applied to
media files. How much files will remain in Commons, if only media
about notable persons or works of notable persons will be included?
Media in question is about ethnic conflict (definitely notable
itself), so I don't think that BPL applies there.

Hello,
Indeed the situation had changed since the last discussion. On the April
board meeting the Board of Trustees of the WMF had issued a resolution
about BLP. This resolution includes Commons. So please check if the said
images on in accordance with the spirit of the resolution.
Thank you very much.

We all know you disagree with the conclusion. There is really nothing

This discussion was probably discussed before. It
has to be discussed
again. I would like the members of this list to express their opinion
about the following:
1. Why are these cartoons on the Commons, considering they educational
value is dubious, as they merely express one person's opinion and are
not documentary in any way or present useful sketches or other
productive material.
2. Why are these cartoons categorized in a way that force user to see
them even if they prefer to avoid them. In particular - why a person who
looks for Allan Dershowitz's portrait should be forced to see a cartoon
that defames him in the most harsh way? (There are other similar
examples, but that's the most critical.)
3. Latuff released his cartoons to the public domain. My attempt to
upload paraphrases of these cartoons was banned by a few administrators.
Is that acceptable on Commons' users? Isn't that a breach of the "fair
play" rules and "no censorship" rules? Why would uploading the Israeli
flag with a ban sign on it and the inscription "no Israel" is okay,
while uploading paraphrases on Latuff's cartoons would be banned?
4. Should the Commons welcome new political cartoons which express
personal opinions about ongoing events, and isn't that a risk to the
project? If the Commons should welcome these cartoons, who has the right
to decide whom of the caricaturists is notable, which of the caricatures
is educational etc.?
Please express your opinions, it is highly important.
