The community is already discussing this matter Andreas. What you are doing is, since your "vote" is not going the way you want (the picture, apparentely, will remain as a FP) you are canvassing votes here, so people can go there are vote to delist the image.
That, my dear, is pure canvass, and is not allowed in any project. So, again, stop do that.
Dear Beria, You would have a leg to stand on if anyone, at all, who had read my posts on this or any other mailing list, had voted in my favour in these communitydiscussions. I am not aware that anyone has. Of the 5 people who have voted to delist,I do not recognise a single name from the mailing lists. And I believe ifanyone here had decided to vote, they would be experienced enough, andhave enough integrity, to disclose along with their vote that they becameaware of the discussion through a mailing list post. Further: If list members had commented, which they have not, and the vote were goingagainst you, which it is not, you would be well within your rights to contest the result, and ask the community to look into any undue effect mailing listdiscussions may have had on the discussion. However, nothing like this hashappened. As it is, you are out of line to threaten me on my Commons user page for participating in discussions on this list. Regards,Andreas
