[Foundation-l] Jimbo's Sexual Image Deletions

[Jan-Bart de Vreede]

HI,

Before calling it a night I would like to point out the final paragraph of the statement.

"In saying this, we don't intend to create new policy, but rather to reaffirm and support policy that already exists. We encourage Wikimedia editors to scrutinize potentially offensive materials with the goal of assessing their educational or informational value, and to remove them from the projects if there is no such value."
