Oh really?
edit"All posting on Jimbo's talk page regarding this subject matter will be moved to the talk page of this project page" ? Anyone that attempts this will be hung out on the WP:ANI rope to twist in the breeze. Guaranteed. Tarc (talk) 19:37, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
Is there an actual point to this "essay", or is this just Count Iblis wasting everyone's time again? Resolute 22:13, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
- It is to stop people from wasting time on Jimbo's talk page by discussing Commons over and over again. Count Iblis (talk) 22:45, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
- lol. I am sure I don't have to lecture you on the liklihood of agenda-driven zealots ceasing their crusades. Resolute 23:14, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Too simplistic?
editPutting aside whether one agrees or disagrees with the overall perspective of this essay, I think it oversimplifies the types of concerns that get raised (on User talk:Jimbo Wales and elsewhere) concerning images of unclothed human beings. There are several different issues involved in this sorts of threads, which should not be confused:
- Concerns about depictions of identifiable unclothed people without their consent (as a privacy and potentially a legal issue).
- Concerns about depictions of unclothed minors or persons who may be minors (as a privacy and in some cases a very serious legal issue).
- Concerns about depictions of unclothed people in unexpected places (e.g. where a search for images regarding a non-sexually oriented, seemingly innocuous topic brings up NSFW results).
- Concerns about too many depictions of unclothed people or body parts (as a quality or undue weight issue).
- Concerns about inclusion at all of depictions of unclothed people (e.g. as a religious, moral, age-appropriatess, or filter-avoidance issue).
These five types of concerns, and I'm sure there are other categories, raise very different considerations. It would be simplistic to lump them together. Newyorkbrad (talk) 23:18, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
