So I spent the afternoon doing some research on this matter [on my
phone], and learnt that it isn't the network admin who has blocked the
site. The so called security software, Blue Coat, in this case, tags
the Commons as Media download site. So blocking sites in this
category, blocks Commons,
Is it possible to talk to Blue Coat and remove commons from their
blacklist.
btw, there are pictures on commons that can easily go in the porn category.
Some serious admin work is needed there.

Its your call Commons Admins.
There is some (hidden and very thin ) dividing line between porn and naked.
I am told that in some Middleeast countries, where there are restrictions
on webcontent, Wikipedia is also used by youngsters for porn/naked

And again: We can 't act against the community. If you Community doesn't

The sense of porn differs culture to cultures. We cannot rely on that. And
I think we have talked enough in this matter. As far as I know Commons is
blocked in Iran, and it's their call. Commons is here to host educational
and informational images and to server other Wikimedia projects by hosting
Which reminds me, sorry to butt in, but what is India's position on image

Just a note to you guys: I am not discouraging your discussion actually,
but if you want to do something in Commons, you have to discuss that in
Commons. You can discuss about Commons' things here for years but it will
