I would tackle this at the level of deletion templates.
Flickrwashing is a known widespread source of copyvios.
1. There should be a template specifically for that class of deletion.
2. This should be added as a new reason for deletion to the
appropriate policy page.

It's this uncomfortable tension that I feel when I log into Commons. I'm on
the Warriors side.

I also don't see the message you were referring to.
Next time, if you want to address just the moderators rather than the
whole list you can mail gendergap-ow...@lists.wikimedia.org

Thank you Karen for letting us know that you are inviting your students to
the mailing list. It would be great to hear their perspective on the topics
related to gender and Wikipedia (and Wikimedia). So, I hope that they decide
to participate.

Dear Colleagues,
I am too busy right now to weigh in on everything I'd like to; I have expertise
on gender and diversity, which is why I'm here.
I am offering the gendergap list to my Wikipedia class (university) students
effective next week, so please anticipate new "faces." The greate

without the appended text and the list mod can just reject or ignore your

Would you please remove all other appended content that I did not delete from
my email 3 minutes ago? There is a long string of conversation that is
unnecessarily included. ___

Hi Toby :-)
You made my day by cleaning up this category!
I thought I was going to have to make room in my schedule to do it today. If
you look through my contributions on Commons, you see that for the last 18
months the bulk of my edits to Commons is cleaning up mis-categorized
controversial ima

It doesn't even matter, anymore. Some of these images have been nominated
before, and been kept. They all just keep stating I don't know the policies
and that they are in scope. Perhaps it all is and perhaps I really am an

This is the photo I tagged. It no longer has a Flickr account, it's not used

Hi Sarah,
The principle of least surprise is roughly the following:
People who go to a category/gallery/encyclopedia-article expecting something
(shoes) should not be surprised by something they may find offensive (naked
women wearing shoes).
One way to ensure this is to make clearly labelled su
Hi Toby -
Sorry to be a n00b but, can you explain what you mean by "refactoring this
category according to the principle of least surprise?"
For anyone else - if you find an image that has been uploaded by a Flickr
bot, and the Flickr account has been deleted what do you do? I notice a
large port
I've made a start on refactoring this category according to the principle of
least surprise. Feel free to do this whenever you notice a "surprising"
image in a mundane category.
Regarding consent, if any of the identifiable women are in private
locations,
