Sorry to say... Right now, on the English Wikipedia main page "did you know" section, is "World Naked Gardening Day": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Naked_Gardening_Day You will note on the talkpage of the article there's been a vigorous debate about the choice of image used http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:World_Naked_Gardening_Day This morning (my time) the image was not there, with [[user:alan liefting]] working hard to argue against the photo that has now been placed at the top. I am dismayed on behalf of women and of gardeners too! I have come across [[User:Supernova Explosion]] before - he seems to use titillating captions and images to increase the hits to otherwise legitimate 'did you know' nominations and is now the user who has been arguing that this photo has "consensus" to be included while they wait for a better one to be found.
Groan! I don't want to get involved in an edit-war about this case, but can anything be done about this case specifically? Is it the right approach to remove the image and to ask that the discussion about its appropriateness be delayed until at least after the DYK link is gone?? Whiteghost.ink
