[Foundation-l] Sexual Content on Wikimedia

[Nathan]

Forum shopping typically describes someone going from forum to forum trying
to get a different decision on some particular thing they want. In this
case, I don't think privatemusings is looking for a specific outcome (like
deleting an image, achieving a block, influencing an AfD, etc.). The object
is, and has been, to raise awareness of this as a significant issue.

The general subject was discussed recently in more detail on Jimmy's en.wp
talkpage. That discussion can be found at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Jimbo_Wales/Archive_43#BLP_and_images.
Some other things addressed in that section are userspace galleries of
explicit images under headings like "hot" "admiration of the female form"
etc.
