edit Wikimedia Foundation website I believe this will be the correct place to

I feel that the staff images on the Foundation site should show the staff in a

I don't see any problem with it. I'm not sure how it is somehow more
unprofessional than absentee (for lack of a better term) pictures being
labeled Cloak of invisibility? Or the picture of Rory as mascot?

A placeholder for people without pictures shouldn't be a problem. Thats common
use. And they are all the same so thats a OK thing.
The picture of Rory is a picture of Rory. It even says its a mascot and I agree
with Erik we need Tux for Engineering.
And no, we are not in the 1950's but

picture for our public staff page. Pictures with stupid/crazy objects,
cosplaying, playing games, etc.

Also, I think you missed my sarcasm about Rory and the invisibility cloak.
They're non-issues, just as Brandon's photo is a non-issue.

I think what's really offensive here is the implication that having a tat
means that you're not professional. I don't have any ink myself, but I
respect the choice of those who do.
To be honest, I like the occasionally goofy pictures and profiles on the
WMF staff page; it shows that there are
Sure; there are countries with taboos around, for example, tattoos.
However, given that we run many encyclopaedias containing articles on
pretty much everything, taboo or no taboo (including ink!), anyone easily
offended is /going/ to be. There's a saying about horses and doors that
applies here.
Its more like making a statement on your official homepage.

Then surely, we must err on the side of conservatism!

First, I want to make clear that I express no opinion on the ink
conversation. I respect the diverse points of views in our community. I
understand that everyone has their own stripes.
That said, I am deeply saddened and frankly shocked by allegations voiced
by certain people in this thread that
Stripes. Yeah, right. Clearly, Rory is wearing tats of their own. Totally
covered in 'em! I'm calling foul. Delicious, organic friends... I wanna
