Thank you for contributing the picture to Masturbation. Might I suggest that you also upload it to http://commons.wikimedia.org , since it is under GFDL? The Wednesday Island 00:44, 24 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

yes i'd second that. If that's really a photo of you (and this isn't some horrible ex-boyfriend's idea of a joke), then well done and thank you. Very brave, and it definitely adds to the article, in a non pornographic way. nice photo. Spute 22:45, 25 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

I would love to do so if I knew how. -- Ti_mi 21:04, 29 August 2006

Somebody helped in following your advice posting my picture. Thanks. Here is the link:

I have another idea for you. The article Breast has a limited type of photo available on it. Perhaps you could provide an image of your breasts for that article as well? Your breasts appear to be slightly smaller than the ones in the phot and they are all aproximately the same size with a few larger, but no examples of smaller breast sizes. It could use more examples. Also, if you are interested in putting more photos of yourself on the web, perhaps you could generate a Flicker.com [1] page for yourself. Just a suggestion. On a personal note, I would love to see more. Svartulfr 03:36 2 September 2006

So done, I contributed a picture to the article Breast. In the meantime though, my upload to commons.wikimedia (that The Wednesday Island had asked for) got deleted. As for the ressources of flicker.com, I didn't see anything there for me to generate a page with. Otherwise, I'd be most happy to oblige. -- Ti_mi 21:43 4 September 2006
I think he probably meant flickr, which is here. HTH HAND —Phil | Talk 17:41, 5 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
Indeed, I meant Flickr! Sorry about that. Svart 03:56 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Photos

edit

Wikipedia is in the process of formulating policy related to certain classes of high risk photos, including sexual imagery contributed by new editors. The concern is that such photos could be uploaded by ex-boyfriends, and the like, without the knowledge of the person being photographed, and that such imagery could be embarassing to the person in the photos if they were uploaded without permission.

For the moment, your images have been deleted while we seek to confirm that you are in fact the woman in the photos. The policy in this area is still rough, so the standard of proof has not yet been entirely established. However, everyone agrees that one method of proof would be to provide a photograph of yourself holding a sign saying "Wikipedia" (or something similar). This would be sufficient to establish that you are the woman in the photos and confirm that they are used with your permission.

Sorry for the inconvenience. We are still discussing how best to protect the interests of women who might be exploited by the posting of unauthorized photos versus minimizing the burden on the uploader. In the future, we may have mechanisms that are less contrived than posing with a "Wikipedia" sign, but for the moment it is the best option available to us.

We at Wikipedia are still getting our act together. Please do not misunderstand anything about this as necessarily relecting on you. Dragons flight is a wonderful contact person in dealing with this or any related issue. The bottom line is that Wikipedia as a whole benefits from both individual contributions from everybody and individual deletions from everybody. Thanks for helping. Please bear with us as we the people change the world. WAS 4.250 03:46, 6 September 2006 (UTC)Reply


The consensus reached in Talk:Masturbation through discussion seems to have been totally useless since anonymous users as well as user Future either insert images never discussed or delete what has been restored, notably Image:Masturbation techniques.jpg. The image itself has been deleted altogether from the data base by user JoshuaZ with the consequence that it is no longer visible in Talk:Masturbation and that the whole section of discussing the "New Image" there at Talk:Masturbation#The_New_Image has become utterly pointless. This is vandalism in a most irritating way. In the meantime, I have deleted all images in the controversial first section on the Masturbation page. If we don't have a policy for risk photos at this time, all pictures in Talk:Masturbation should be deleted for now. CarlosLuis 2:25, 6 September 2006.
