Andreas, 
Again: Stop canvassing your POV!!! This list (and Commons-l) are not for that.
That is my last warning

This list was set up to discuss systemic issues in Foundation projects. In the opinion of several contributors here, this specific issue is profoundly symptomatic of the issue this list was set up to discuss.
This includes Commons selecting images for featured status on the basis of comments like "I like her big tits", rather than artistic merit, and then featuring them on the main page. Or creating categories like "People using vacuum cleaners".

In my view, it's a basic community competence issue. Andreas
