Bad > Shock?
Suggesting a renaming from "Bad image list" to "Shock image list", The images are not bad. Many are educational, some are less then attractive. All have a stronger then normal potential to be abused by vandals for their shock value. Jeepday (talk) 11:23, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Renaming this page requires a developer as it would require changes in the code. See https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14281 for an open request that has garnered very little attention. Thryduulf (talk) 12:51, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Any of the suggested renames there would be appropriate. Withdrawing my name suggestion and supporting community consensus for anything that does not include "Bad". Jeepday (talk) 14:04, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't think it makes much difference what we call this page as long as its desired effect (to prevent the images being sed for vandalism) is achieved, which it is. HJ Mitchell  &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?   19:34, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I concur, like it says on the bugzilla page, the current name is poor from a WP:NPOV perspective. From a technical perspective it does not matter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeepday (talk • contribs) at 22:28, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I wonder why this isn't named MediaWiki:Image blacklist, similar to MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist and MediaWiki:Titleblacklist. Wouldn't that be better? Cheers, theFace 20:29, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I guess the title predates those pages, but I don't know that for certain. Also, this isn't a blacklist in the sense used by those pages as it doesn't prevent the use of the images. It merely restricts the use of the images on it to explicitly listed pages. So I don't think "MediaWiki:Image blacklist would be a good title. Thryduulf (talk) 13:29, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Move request
editprotected Following discussion, I would like to propose,, that this page be moved to MediaWiki:Restricted files. I think this is the most logical title, since it includes video content as well as images. Feezo (Talk) 04:32, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
 * meh. I don't think that the upheaval required to move the page is worth it. It needs a developer to make changes to the MediaWiki code to implement it, so that the functionality is not lost (including during the time between the change being implemented and all the caches updating. Depending how hardcoded the current name is (I have no idea) this could be as simple as changing one line of code, or in the worst case scenario possibly hundreds of lines of code. Also the likelihood of a developer actually making the effort to make the change is low, given how long more significant bugs have been outstanding is very low. While I don't object to the new name, I just don't think changing it will happen tbh. I'm not going to put the move notice on the interface page as I don't know if it will break anything (And I don't particularly want to find out!). Thryduulf (talk) 05:31, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay, I understand. It seems unlikely that just using a template would break the page &mdash; looking at the history, it seems the header text has been modified a number of times &mdash; I don't think it has to be in a strict format. You're right, though, a developer would need to modify the Bad Image List extension, and since it's a fairly trivial issue I will withdraw the edit request for now. Feezo (Talk) 05:55, 13 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Support. Once again, I will voice my support of a page move. As noted at Bugzilla, ID#14281, the most correct name would probably be MediaWiki:Restricted-use media list, since there may be more than just image files involved.  In looking through all the discussions/arguments about this issue, there does appear to be a consensus against the present name.  From the viewpoint of the developers, the problem is that there is no evident consensus for any certain new name for the list.  As they've noted, there have been several suggestions, so no one particular name has risen to the "height" of consensus.
 * Also, again as noted at Bug #14281...

"As a note, the name is used on all mediawiki installs, it is not something that is going to be made a config option, so consensus at wikipedia (on the off chance you actually get it) does not necessarily imply it will be changed."

- Bawolff 2011-02-13 05:49:20 UTC – Comment 21


 * I have been fighting this battle for nearly a year, and there are others who've been fighting it even longer. It is hard for me to conceive why such a change as this should be so very difficult to implement.  The challenges include, but not in any specific order nor necessarily limited to:
 * Coming to consensus on one particular name,
 * Convincing the "powers that be" that enough of us care about the need for a name change,
 * Defining the actual amount of work from the developer's POV (If it involves changing one line of code and 30 seconds of time, then what's the holdup? On the other hand, if this change will involve subtle and intricate code modifications that will take an hour or more to implement, then that is a significant consideration when prioritizing this change.  Nobody seems to know the answer to this.), and
 * Securing a target date for completion.
 * I did sense early last year when I became involved with this issue that it would be an uphill climb. I never realized that it would be like fitting a spaceship to go to the star Sirius.  &mdash;   Paine  Ellsworth  (  C LIMAX  )  00:17, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
 * PS. Thank heavens I take Lisinopril!>)
 * In regards to how much work it would be to change. Changing the name involves changing one line of includes/ImageFunctions.php (2 if you count a comment), ~2 lines in some of the i18n maintenance scripts, and a bunch of lines in the i18n files (which is trivial with a script). The amount of work is insignificant. It really is a Bikeshed issue. It would cause a minor amount of disruption though since mediawiki:Bad image list would stop working in favour of the new name [On all mediawiki installs, not just enwikipedia, not even just wikimedia wikis]. The reason you're probably not getting very much response to this is that the reasons presented (that the current name is politically incorrect) aren't very convincing. A very mildly politically incorrect message name (which is only politically incorrect on a subset of sites using mediawiki), that is not advertised to normal readers, is really not something to get worked up about. Heck arguing that it should be changed to be consistent with the convention of using dashes instead of spaces in message names would probably be slightly more convincing (although not much more). [Just to clarify, the preceding is just my personal opinion. Others who commented on the bug might have different opinions on the issue]. Bawolff (talk) 01:44, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
 * First of all, thank you, Bawolff, for resolving #3 above. Also, I hope you don't mind that I quoted you above.  You raised an argument that I have not read in any of the discussions, archived or active, on this issue, and I felt that it needed to be heard.  I respect your feeling that this issue is trivial.  When I look into the archives, when I check the date that craleigh318 opened the bug (2008-05-27), when I count the growing number of editors who have given an opinion on this matter, I am compelled to disagree.  I guess I did read a discussion or two about the name being "politically incorrect", but few have really cared about that.  The main concern over the last three years does not seem to me to be that the "bad" is politically incorrect, but that it is incorrect, period.  These media are no more "bad" than, say, a nail gun is bad because some vandal puts somebody's eye out with it.  (Nor are these media "blacklisted", but their usage is only "restricted".)  You indicate that in your eyes there is not very much response to this issue.  You will want to look again to the archives and note that response to this issue over the last three years has been quite strong.  No, there has never been consensus as to a new name; there has however been a strong consensus against the present name, as well as the prevailing thought that just about any other name (that does not include the word "blacklist" in any way, shape or form) would be a definite improvement over the present name.  At 14281, you wrote that you "certainly don't" care what this page is called.  Over the past three years, I and many other editors have shown that we do care, that we would like to see this page renamed using a correct descriptor.  Nearly a year ago, if I could have, I would have renamed this page.  And there are some editors who would have renamed this page three years ago if they could have.  I can't help but wonder how many different editors over what period of time does it take to raise this from trivial to necessary?  &mdash;   Paine  Ellsworth  (  C LIMAX  )  02:52, 16 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Support. Since when does Wikipedia pass such ridiculous value judgments on official pages? IMO, pages should be titled with their purpose, a criteria which "restricted files" achieves. I'm pretty sure there'd be a big furor if I made a Category:Bad Books and added Flowers for Algernon to it. Let's push for this. Attract more attention, reach consensus and petition for a name change.  Dubious Irony  yell  19:24, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Overreach
It was my understanding that the bad image list was intended for offensive images that could cause trouble if used for vandalism, at least according to Tim Starling's comments introducing the feature. But over the past several months, it looks like images have been put on the list that don't seem offensive by any stretch of the imagination: I don't understand the reasoning here. If the intention is to stop copycat vandals adding the same image everywhere, the edit filter is that way. Remember the bad image list doesn't stop edits from getting through; it only stops the images themselves from being rendered inline. The average reader is going to be just as confused whether they see a grinning TV chef or the linked text "File:Ainsley Harriott.jpg" in some random article, and it's going to bamboozle the good-faith contributor trying to add the picture to a relevant article months later (the "Gabe Newell GDC 2010" one was added months ago). These images should be removed, and the above kept in mind. Fran Rogers (talk) 04:09, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
 * File:Ainsley Harriott.jpg
 * File:Gabe Newell GDC 2010.jpg
 * File:Reginald Fils-Aime.jpg
 * File:The Mystery of the Druids Coverart.jpg
 * Where's the policy that says it's only for offensive images? It's used to prevent the use of images on the list for vandalism. I don't know how an edit filter could be concocted to have the same effect, but I certainly couldn't write one from scratch in less time than it takes me to type the name of the file and save this page. HJ Mitchell  &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?   04:35, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
 * The bad image list does nothing to prevent vandalism. As I mentioned above, all it does is prevent selected images from rendering inline and replace them with a link, thus mitigating the specific problem of potentially offensive/shocking images popping up in front of visitors before they can be reverted. If ongoing, repeated vandalism with an image is going on and the image is added to this list, the edits adding these images are still going to get through and stick around until somebody finds them. This is why adding anything other than offensive images here basically accomplishes nothing. Fran Rogers (talk) 05:02, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

 * File:Lynching2.jpg, an image of a lynching victim, was used by a blocked user for harassment by posting it on another editor's talk page with the caption "(targeted user) the Moslem ngger hanging from his rightful place" and the personal message "I'll show you vandalism, you f**ing ngger." You can see the diff here. Given the relative ease that such an image can be posted on user talk pages in such fashion, perhaps this image should be added to the restricted image list?  However, there are a number of legitimate articles linking to the image so I hope that's not too much trouble to build an "exception" list for.  Here are the twelve (12) pages that currently link legitimately to the image:  Leonidas C. Dyer, Lynching, User:Durova/Featured picture gallery/2009, User talk:Durova/Archive 72, Featured picture candidates/July-2009, Featured picture candidates/Lynching, Featured pictures/History/USA History, Featured pictures thumbs 19, WikiProject United States/Quality content, WikiProject United States/Recognized content, Wikipedia talk:Featured picture candidates/Archive 24, Portal:United States/Selected picture  Thank you for considering this request.

Possible wrong image
Hi, could someone look into this image, please? I reckon it WAY wrong, especially since it's linked with the Dnepropetrovsk maniacs. In my opinion, it's just as easy as to put a 'Wanted' sign on someones forehead. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Igor_Sayenko.jpg 「Robster1983」 ☞ Life's short, talk fast ☜  02:08, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

Courcelles 02:15, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
 * The person on the photo is rather recognisable. The point of blurring is to make someones identity anonymous (especially in a high profile-case). Obviously, this photo could use some work (to say the least). My concern is about the person depicted on the photograph. I don't know him, but obviously, this can't pass wiki's guidelines. 「Robster1983」  ☞ Life's short, talk fast ☜  02:25, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

Exceptions for personal userpages
Are there any rules regarding adding exceptions to the list for personal use? There's currently 22 links to the user namespace in this list, and I'm doubtful that this is how the list is supposed to be used. If a user requests to have his user page added as an exception for an image in the list, what do we do? Do we grant it because of WP:NOTCENSORED, or do we deny it because adding such an image to your user page obviously has no practical use whatsoever? I've removed one entry already (a vandal's user page. How did that even get an exception in the first place?), but I'm curious about the others (which includes administrators). --Conti|✉ 23:34, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

"Those created by known and respected long-standing contributors, whose aim is clearly more to showcase our work and WP:NOT#CENSORED and that are not designed for self-amusement or for sexual provocation may be kept but even so have at times been MFD'ed multiple times or closed as 'no consensus'."

"Bad"?
The name of this list is really horrible and inappropriate. There is nothing whatsoever "bad" about many of the images -- the list includes images that are technically and artistically well photographs by contributors to Commons. There are original artworks of good quality, rare historic photographs, etc. It seems quite insulting to call them "bad images". I suggest this be renamed to something like "Restricted image list". -- Infrogmation (talk) 17:06, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

 * So basically we're stuck with it unless someone does some programming. That's unfortunte. "Bad" images as a term is blatantly contradictory to the NPOV rule. It's almost like a joke from an elementary school kid. I would argue that this is a thoroughly "bad" image, in that the average paparazzi could do better. It makes Carmen look like the Wicked Witch of the West. But it's G-rated, and it "graced" the article for some number of months. Ugh. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 00:11, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

19th Century Pornography

 * Please read the introduction to this list. It is meant to prevent vandalism in serious cases in which blocking the vandal(s) alone is not a viable option. If this picture wasn't used for vandalism, then this is not the right place. Additionally Wikipedia is not censored. This means that we will keep and use such images inside corresponding articles, as long there isn't an alternative of equal value for the topic. At the same time we host such images on Commons, which serves as a general image repository that requires a image to be freely licensed and to be usable in educational context. This image is free and has high historic educational value. A deletion request would not have a chance, except the admin would be drunk. -- ／人 ◕ ‿‿ ◕ 人＼ 署名の宣言 01:34, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

Removing three images

I've just deleted File:Nude beach bodmod style.jpg, File:Horse penis.jpg, and File:Female urination.jpg, because they consisted solely of the badimage template — all were Commons images that have recently been deleted. Will the bot automatically remove them from this list, or will we have to do something? Reading the instructions only confused me — if "a bot keeps images in alphabetical order and removes deleted images", why do we need to be instructed to "please double-check that the relevant image talk page has been deleted as well" when removing deleted images?

Arbitrary censorship
Does this list violate WP:NOTCENSORED? It is surprising that specific images are censored from Wikipedia, despite the existence of this guideline. Jarble (talk) 19:00, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
 * As a side note, are there any specific criteria for deciding which images are considered obscene? Which users allowed to decide which images to block? Jarble (talk) 20:08, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
 * For the most part, images are put here when some vandal uses them as a short of shock image, or when there is obvious potential for such. There's no other way to prevent a changing IP address to add such images wherever they like. --Conti|✉ 20:15, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Which users are allowed to add images to the list? I'd be a bit worried if the censorship process was completely arbitrary (instead of community-driven) - who filters these images, and decides whether or not editors are allowed to use them? Jarble (talk) 21:51, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
 * It appears that only administrators are allowed to make changes to the list - that's a bit surprising. Jarble (talk) 21:57, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
 * if there is the thread of large misuse then i can understand why this page should be protected. If it isn't, vandals could unblock the images by there own and put them in unexpected places again. But I'm also worried about the process, because there are many images listed that weren't used for any vandalism. I just recently requested four of my own images to be removed from the list, that were simply put there because someone claimed that they could be misused. If this is really a tool against permanent vandalism, then only images should be listed that are repeatedly used for vandalism. Images that have stayed for a longer period on the list should be unlisted again. -- ／人 ◕ ‿‿ ◕ 人＼ 署名の宣言 17:17, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not aware of any way to tell by looking at the image page/information, whether an image has been used for vandalism once that vandalism is reverted. As to the bigger issue, there are a couple of ways to look at it. First, while it would be possible to make the list editable by anyone, it would require the changes to be made to a transcluded page, and so the process would need to be moved there. As to the WP:NOTCENSORED question, for it to really violate that, a good faith requests to white list a page for an image would need to be denied in such a way as to violate NOTCENSORED. Looking back, I see few rejected requests, is it really an issue? Monty  <sub style="color:#A3BFBF;">845  17:36, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Reminds me of an essay: Say no to Commons. -- auburn pilot  talk  00:53, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Saving space isn't really a concern, but there likely wouldn't be any harm in going through this list to remove images that have been on here for an extended period of time. As far as I know, this list was never meant to have images listed permanently. Images are to be added when used for vandalism/disruption. -- auburn pilot  talk  00:53, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Deleting them won't save storage space anyway, as the old versions are kept around indefinitely in case they are to be undeleted. Anomie⚔ 02:30, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

 * According to the usage section on commons, some of those images are used on more than just that users userspace. That being said, no-one WP:OWNS anything on Wikipedia, and the "it's their personal userspace" doesn't validate the images for use there.

Other addition?
It's not that I think that is a bad piece of art but I think that L'Origine du monde should use a smaller version so when one clicks on their user name, one is not SMACK!, opening up a sex scene on ones computer. I mean I don't think that image could be enlarged any further. I've never seen a User Page with a scroll bar. Is there any aspect of "bad images" that deals with the size of the image, not the image itself? I find many of these images okay as thumbnails but when genitalia and breasts fill my entire screen?

This removed it from a number of pages in the userspace where it had happily been for many years with no complaints. He made this addition because he objected to me displaying the image on my user page, which he had previously deleted (he also wrongly blocked me, hence the delay in this request). Given that there had been no widespread problem with this image of an iconic painting, I request it's removal.<b style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:20px; color:#B6316C;">♥ L'Origine du monde ♥</b> ( ♥ Talk ♥ ) 03:29, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

 * I just wanted to make a note here, there is a sockpuppet group that has used this image and others as shock images on user and user talk pages. (Mine being one of them, any admin can take a look at the revdel'ed examples.) Werieth (talk) 12:40, 9 September 2013 (UTC)


 * ❌. The request to remove the image from the list is declined: the image has been used for vandalism and, so, belongs on the list; furthermore, under WP:UP, the use of sexualised images is usually not permitted in userspace Salvio Let's talk about it! 12:45, 9 September 2013 (UTC) [modified, per request, on 00:31, 11 September 2013 (UTC)]


 * If the image is used legitimately at "a number of pages in the userspace", then maybe those pages should be added as exceptions where the image is allowed? There are currently only exceptions for the pages in the article namespace. --Stefan2 (talk) 13:00, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
 * There is no legitimate reason to display nudity on one's user page, pages which are supposed to be brief introductions by the user and his/her interests for the benefit of the Wikipedia community. It isn't facebook, it isn't a blog, and it isn't an ideological platform.  Keep this image on the blacklist, please, and do not carve out exceptions for any userspace page. Tarc (talk) 13:05, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Per UP, There is also broad consensus that you should not have any image in your userspace that would bring the project into disrepute and you may be asked to remove such images. Content clearly intended as sexually provocative (images and in some cases text) or to cause distress and shock that appears to have little or no project benefit or using Wikipedia only as a web host or personal pages or for advocacy, may be removed by any user (or deleted), subject to appeal at deletion review. So, personally, I think that, generally speaking, the use of this image in userspace should be avoided; although there may be exceptions, which should be discussed on a case-by-case basis. Before anyone asks, no, I don't think that using this image on should be allowed, so, no, I won't grant an exception in this case.  Salvio Let's talk about it! 13:09, 9 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Support removal from the list. WP:NOTCENSORED and there is no valid reason for it to be on the list that I can see at this time. Technical 13 (talk) 13:13, 9 September 2013 (UTC)


 * If the editor in question really, really has to have this on their userpage, then I would suggest a simple sentence saying "I took my username from l'Origine du monde by the French artist Courbet." Then anyone who wishes to do so may follow the link and see what all the fuss is about. I think Salvio's point about UP is an important one, as well. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 14:35, 9 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Oppose removal from the list, but entertain requests for exceptions to allow well-justified use (per WP:COMMONSENSE) in User space. As is always the case, context is key.  This image has a high potential to be misused by vandals.  But, I can see a case where it would be appropriate in User space by, for example, and editor who does significant work on article content in the Realist movement or biographies of French painters and would like to illustrate a thumbnail gallery of articles significantly improved, or brought to GA, etc.  Such exceptions could be handled on a per-request basis. Regarding the WP:NOTCENSORED argument, WP:NOTCENSORED applies to article content, it does not apply to User space, see WP:UPNOT where it says "Wikipedia is not censored" relates to article pages and images; in other namespaces there are restrictions aimed at ensuring relevance, value, and non-disruption to the community.   15:06, 9 September 2013 (UTC)


 * If I can comment as a relatively long term regular on this page, after what Zad68 said. This page has always functioned well by not taking any moral position on requests for exceptions. If it's not vandalism, then we have always traditionally listed the request. Indeed any inclusions of the image at the time of listing are normally included in the exceptions without question. The fact is that problems with the usage should be resolved elsewhere. I believe at least one user has been sanctioned by the community before for posting pussy on their userpage, so I would not recommend doing so, especially after an admin deleted it. However this is not the place to decide that. This image is typical of ones used for vandalism (in fact I think I've seen it used before), so I oppose any removal but support any exception. -- zzuuzz (talk) 15:24, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
 * " Images on the list have normally been used for widespread vandalism where user blocks and page protections are impractical." If this has happened, why was this image not added to the list when this happened, or if it happens in the future could it not be added again? This list is not designed to be used as a tool in content disputes between editors.<b style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:20px; color:#B6316C;">♥ L'Origine du monde ♥</b> ( ♥ Talk ♥ ) 22:20, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Actually, I just noticed a problem (though perhaps it's with my computer)--when I hover over L'Origine's username, my tooltips popup still shows the image. And let me tell you, it's fascinating art, but it's very very important that it not appear in this type of manner. Users must be able to edit safely while in a workplace or other public space; for articles, I can simply pick and choose which articles I visit in those places, reserving editing of "controversial" or "NSFW" sites for my home, but I should never have to worry about landing on such an image on a user's page; otherwise, it practically makes it impossible for me to edit, since even hovering over the name can reveal the image. If this is just me needed to clean my cache or something, let me know.
 * On the actual matter, whether or not the image was added at the right time, and even if it was a content dispute of some type between L'Origine and an admin, the clear point is that it was used for vandalism, and thus must be on the list now, with all necessary article space exceptions, of course. Qwyrxian (talk) 22:53, 10 September 2013 (UTC)


 * This is a great painting, dating back to 1866, that shows part of a naked woman. It has not been subject to widespread abuse, and is an important part of European cultural heritage. It is a "Museum Quality" painting. WP:UP describes "Content clearly intended as sexually provocative (images and in some cases text) or to cause distress and shock that appears to have little or no project benefit." The most provocative thing about the painting is normally considered to be the pubic hair. The various user pages that had the painting removed by this ban were either not sexually provocative or intended to cause distress or shock, or failed to do so. While it is obviously harder to remove an image from a banned list than it is to add it, the point of this list is to deal with abuse in a reactive way. While it has been claimed that this painting has been used for vandalism once or twice, Wikicommons has many media that have no artistic merit, and could be used for vandalism - for example  - and are not on this list. If vandals really want to stick a picture of a naked woman on wikipedia, why stop them using a great painting? <b style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:20px; color:#B6316C;">♥ L'Origine du monde ♥</b> ( ♥ Talk ♥ ) 01:15, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
 * L'Origine du monde Please check your facts, I know for a fact that at least three different users have had either their talk page or user page replaced with this image. It was done by multiple accounts/IPs over a period of time, and this was taken cross project after the users where blocked on enwiki. Just because the content was deleted as abusive (and correctly done for that matter) doesnt mean it didnt happen, just that you cannot see it. Werieth (talk) 02:34, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
 * "Images on the list have normally been used for widespread vandalism where user blocks and page protections are impractical." Do you mean three users over a period of time- if so it would seem as though user blocks and page protections have proved practical ?

 * There is no valid reason to use this image on a user page, the only purpose is to be a "look at me I'm being disruptive!" user. Since that isn't what user pages should be used for, this image should not be available for user-space, in any context. Tarc (talk) 02:54, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
 * That is your opinion. However this is not supposed to be a list of images unsuitable for user-space, but a list of images that have "been used for widespread vandalism where user blocks and page protections are impractical.

 * I cannot pull exact diffs due to them being deleted, but it was in August that I stumbled upon the vandal. Its not a issue with protection. As soon as an admin protected one target the vandal shifted to someone else (They preferred targeting those that reverted his additions.). There where several other images as a result where also added to this list. Werieth (talk) 02:02, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

 * The vandal in question was hopping IP addresses using open proxies (which make blocking an ineffective solution), and was going from user to user when one page got protected they just shifted targets. was also blacklisted due to abuse. I never brought it to this page per WP:RBI. However other administrators felt that adding the images that where being used as goatse images was a better solution. The graphic images when used for abuse dont need discussed. Werieth (talk) 15:55, 24 September 2013 (UTC)


 * The bad image list is for images that could be reasonably construed as being potential targets for vandalism. We do not want this painting plastered over Sesame street or Barack Obama by a vandal, even for a second. It is preventative, which is the reason behind most blocking mechanisms on Wikipedia. Thus, it should remain on the list, with exceptions given per standard. ~ Charmlet -talk- 22:35, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
 * This list is not meant to be preventative in a broad sense. There has to be an actual case in which a image was used for wide spread vandalism that can't be stopped by blocking or banning the user. "Images on the list have normally been used for widespread vandalism where user blocks and page protections are impractical." That an image might be used for vandalism is not a reason to put an image on this list, or would you put any picture of bacon on the list because it might be inserted in articles related to Judaism? -- ／人 ◕ ‿‿ ◕ 人＼ 署名の宣言 18:53, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Files deleted on Commons or otherwise nonexistent
Apparently there is a bot that removes deleted files, but it doesn't seem to detect deletions on Commons: there are several files that were deleted on commons, as follows: All have local description pages except File:Penis.jpg and File:Male Ejaculation.JPG (though I've tagged them all with db-f2 and they may be gone by the time you read this message). I initially thought the bot was tripping over these pages still existing locally, but since there are two that are redlinks I think it's detecting deletions of files rather than pages, or something. If someone could teach the bot about Commons, it would eliminate the need to make this kind of request in the future - and I foresee myself making more such requests if that doesn't happen.

Wikipedia is a NEUTRAL encyclopedia. Neutral is to not put any signs and flags of Extreme countries and -isms like Nazism and Sovietism. 113.253.23.2 (talk) 05:23, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
 * That doesn't make any sense. The point of this list is to keep those kinds of images from being used for vandalism. We add exceptions for every page that has an encyclopedic use for them. Jackmcbarn (talk) 16:05, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

Add image to portal
The image File:Hentai - yuuree-redraw.jpg could go at Portal:Pornography in the Selected Image section, as its within scope. I'd like to request that it be allowed for use there. its currently at Portal:Pornography/Featured picture/60, but is blocked. I should point out that a previous editor at the portal had requested that no explicit images be used there, but i dont think thats a valid guideline for the pornography portal, and old drawings of an explicit nature are there- i think people may have been worried about contemporary hardcore porn photos, which we dont have a lot of anyway. If there is any other reasons for the restriction, please let me know so i can choose another image for that slot.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 04:11, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I have an additional request, to add either of these images, thumb|right|A bukkake scene, or thumb|Bukkake with two males, to the Portal selected article Bukkake, here: Portal:Pornography/Featured article/6. same rationale as above.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 04:35, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

Not a potentially-profane image per se, but a sockpuppeteer has been using this for his articles concerning a fictitious criminal enterprise dubbed as the "sindikato". Blake Gripling (talk) 01:11, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I think this might be useful to keep whitelisted, for the very reason you mention, if you follow what I mean. Crow <sup style="color:black;"> Caw  17:00, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
