Where on Commons is the best place to discuss this? I haven't seen anything that looks like a very good processlist for checking that an image has a model release... though I reckon there's a template for suggesting one does not. > The addition of this material to commons, and to multiple user > galleries (and user pages) - often with captions / titles like 'hot' or > 'sexy' I feel is at best crass, and at worst an embarrassment to the I don't see anything wrong with calling encyclopedic or otherwise useful, release images, hot or sexy, or with making galleries out of them. you can leave out this tangent. > I believe it's desirable to respect the subjects of photography featuring > nudity to the degree that no matter what the copyright status of the image, > permission of the subject is in some way assessed, and if found wanting - > the media should be deleted. I don't think copyright has anything to do with this; again you can leave out that comment entirely. Permission of subject should be assessed, period. If you assess it by saying 'it is from a library archive and is 80 yrs old', that works as a first pass.

I know I mentioned NSFW before, and I meant it in a totally different context. What I was suggesting is: - pages which might be unexpectedly come across (name and context don't give away media content) and are considered NSFW by a reasonable minority of people should have some indication on the page [not on the images]. It's not meaningful to look for consensus on what is SFW or NSFW, and media cannot be SFW or NSFW without context. [for any given image or block of text, there is some workplace where it is appropriate if not commonplace] _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
