That
said, changed the picture without any discussion, only because some
people don't want to see a half-naked anime girl on Main Page (btw: What
is the problem with that picture? I'm a girl, and i'm not AT ALL
offended for see that in main page) was a act that NO ONE should do
without consensus. Not an adm, not an editor, not a staff.
And do that by abusing the tools WMF and the communitty gave you only made everything even
worse.
That
said, i restored the original image of the day and would love if you
people decide if the picture should stay or not in main page ON COMMONS
I still don't understand what that image that you restored is doing on the main page
ofCommons. If I record an original, unpublished post-punk song with my completely
non-notable garage band, will you feature that too on the main page, as an educational
exampleof post-punk? If not, how is that image different?
Does Commons now provide free advertising for up-and-coming artists eager to makea name
for themselves?
