Returning briefly to NSFW content on Wikimedia sites, there has been some
press coverage in Germany these past couple of days:

Being the spokesperson, the statement is by and large correct, although not
given in this context but as a reply to a content-related question from one
day earlier. It was used in the linked news source articel, to which the
teacher's association reacted within an hour. As I've written elsewhere,
Hi, Wil (and greetings to all my Wikimedian friends here!).
I've been catching up on the Wikimedia-L threads, and of course I've
come across your many postings and your engagement, sometimes tense,
with other posters here. I have some sympathy for your reactions and
questions: I've had some
Apologies for top posting, I'm on my phone...
Mike, this was one of the best emails to this list I've read in a long
time. As someone who has squabbled with you on mailing lists, it's even
better to me.
Take care, sir.

Sorry, the n00b has to step in with a couple of clarifications. :) I
was asking about 2 separate issues, so no conflation there.
Also I asked very carefully for *all* sides of the issues: Now, I'll
just sit back and hear all sides of the story.
All right, back on topic! :)

Wil, I suggest that you do go to http://meta.wikimedia.org and find pages
about these issues. *Read the archives of the talk pages*. And
Stepping in to add another aspect to both questions, as I think it
might focus the discussion.
Child Protection: Are children encouraged to use commons through any
programs or outreach efforts of any kind? If so, is it morally and/or
ethically justifiable to do so without protecting children in
Harassment: Has harassment been addressed in a comprehensive way on
all sites, including all of the WP site? As an example, Wikipedia has
had a problem with low and declining female participation for years,

Those are some *very* serious charges. I'm really just stunned.

There are entirely legitimate reasons for my request and for the

No, Wil. I mean the repeated linking to a Wikipediocracy thread that
actively denigrates many of the other correspondents on this list; that
advocates that you use your personal influence to persuade the new ED to
fire WMF staff; that implies that every WMF-related IRC channel (there are
