Documentation of consent has been discussed several times on the COM:Sexual content talk page:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:Sexual_content One interesting idea raised a few days ago was that we could have a drop-down menu on the upload page for self-made images. This would give uploaders options like -- * any identifiable people have given their consent both for the image and its upload to Commons * there are no identifiable people in the image * etc. It looks like the Commons Sexual content policy draft, which has been in the works for nearly half a year, will shortly be presented to the community. Its proposed consent regulations are part of this section: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Sexual_content#Prohibited_content Andreas > Speaking as a rabid free speech advocate for a moment: > > Any of the home-made pornlike images, even assuming > educational value, > should be subject to really quite stringent checking of > provenance. > (Bot-checking of Flickr uploads doesn't cut it - and we do > have pics > like this that have had that little checking.)
