Well, I understand you, but I think you don´t understand me...First i write "the law"...If the laws of your country prohibit certain images, wikimedia cannot go in opposition to these laws ... they will be able to be more just or fewer jousts, but does not correspond to us to decide on it.
Nobody, certainly, speaks here about scientific images, though well it is true that there are persons to whom the image of a penis can look like an offensive, but it is not this problem. I do not believe that there exists doubt that certain contents are not acceptable. The sexual relations adult - minor are not acceptable, and it is like that in a widespread majority of countries of the world and of peoples of the world. Probably it would be a good idea to make a kind of place reserved to deposit there all these images, having good care of warning clearly to the whole world of which to enter this place could be opposite to the laws of certain countries, that the content can offend the spectator and that Wikimedia is not played the role responsible for the contents not of whom sees them. And not, the common sense can never be confused with the censorship. For the former Romans, the censorship was not any more than to form a judgment of a work or other one sews. For us it is something upside-down, it is to manipulate the truth in order that others could not know her. But not the whole censorship is wrong, since not the whole knowledge is worth being known. In fact, so much in wikipedia as in commons already it is censured ... it was done before this problem and it will continue done .... so, perhaps is not it a censorship to erase certain contents for considering them to be irrelevant? Or certain images for which they do not expire with the legislation on copy-right of the country in question? I also believe strongly in the right to choose, but I believe even stronger that not the whole world has the same aptitudes to choose ... the entire content of wikimedia is accessible to the whole world ... I have two daughters minors ... I would not like that they were agreeing to see images that are not prepared to see. Before the right to choose debit to there have been an education that it teaches to choose. --- El dom, 9/5/10, Excirial <[email protected]> escribió: De: Excirial <[email protected]> Asunto: Re: [Foundation-l] On problems in commons Para: "Wikimedia Foundation Mailing List" <[email protected]> Fecha: domingo, 9 de mayo, 2010 23:47 *Please, read good. Common Sense. Do you think it´s of common sense delete this?...* Common sense is not Common<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sense#Use_common_sense>. In the Islamic world depictions of Muhammad are considered to be highly offensive, akin to western views on child pornography. I am not offended in the least by images of muhammed, but other people are. By your rationale we would have to remove every image or content that might be considered offensive due to it being a matter of respect. It would mean that every pornographic diagram, drawing or image would have to be removed. We would have to remove the Muhammad category. We would have to clean our medical pages which contain photo's of certain diseases that can be considered gross. We would have to remove logo's from pages on secret societies as these societies often consider those logo's "Secret". In fact, there is little to no content that is not considered offensive by at least part of the population. Therefor we include relevant images as long as they are not against the law. Images with a high level of "Offensiveness" to a large group of people should be handled with care, but not evaded. One persons "common sense removal" is another persons censorship. I strongly believe in the right to choose - we should not enforce people to look at content they do not wish to see. But equally we should not remove content merely on the basis that someone doesn't like it. ~Excirial _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
