Sarah,
I know this is a tangent to what you're talking about, but I think it's an
important point. Last year's rewrite of the terms of use was guided by
Foundation staff, but in my view and th

Gah!! That's embarrassing.
Yes, 2013.
Sadly we're severely limited on funding. If I had my way, we'd fund
everyone, but, sadly we can't. (And based on surveying in Milan, most
interested participants were willing to fund themselves or have chapters
fund them).
But it's important to let everyone

Sarah et al,
Another option is to upload photos from here:
http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=bagby+springs&l=commderiv&ss=2&ct=0&mt=all&w=all&adv=1
These are Commons compliant CC licenced photos, that one is free to
upload to Commons.
This will add some more variety to the category.
I will check

Hello everyone!

what they are, it's generally to be expected. Unless of course we want

Please don't confuse my offhand remark for an intent to change the way the
article's illustrated. I just wanted to offer some context -- Bagby is
locally well
Pete,
I'd invite you to run a Google image search for Bagby Hot Springs, with
safe search turned off. The first one hundred images include about as many
images of female nudity as the nine-image Commons category.
That is the difference between Commons demographics, and general
demographics.

am concerned, they have failed abysmally. There have been word
The best idea I've seen!
If a subject area is lacking on Commons, the best way to go about it
is to upload more photos, so that the one or two "naturist" photos
blend in.
Look forward to seeing more images in that category in the future. :)
Cheers,

As possibly the only person in this discussion who's been to Bagby, I'd
hasten to point out that arguably, including nudity in the article would be
the most accurate way to depict it. I've seen more naked people there than
clothed people.
But yes, I agree with Sarah -- having images of naked peopl
Sarah, indeed, I should have been more clear. It is the Commons category
for the Hot Springs that contains the nude images, not the en.wikipedia
article.

Andreas - when you say "until the Foundation does something," what are you

You can always directly write the legal team and ask them for input on what
"they" could do regarding your concerns. That's what I would do if I was

Another idea -
Perhaps we can create a working list of articles that need better photos and
are using absurd sexualized images etc as their photos.
Obviously "sex" articles wouldn't always fall into thy category, but, I'm
thinking more stupid things like the hot springs article.

I have friends who live up there. And I will be in the area in July.
I'll see if we can get "decent" photos of the hot springs.
Actually it might be federal land therefore we can get public domain images for
it. I need to look into that when I am online.
