Some indication that the article confuses Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons would be welcome. Wikipedia hosts very few if any pornographic images, and the deletion of images by Jimmy Wales was on Commons (where the rapidly undeleted images were mainly images of artworks by long-established artists like Félicien Rops, which didn't enamour people to the porn deletion cause at all).

 * Fox News? Wikipediocracy? We must be hard up (no pun intended) for news nowadays. Int21h (talk) 08:10, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
 * That is a good point, Fram and one I did consider : here was my thinking in not mentioning it: the title of the Fox article is misleading, but in all honesty, I highly doubt they know (or care) the difference, but as that wasn't the primary slant of the article, I didn't really find it necessary to point that out, as, in the scheme of things and in the context of the article, it is not really a central point to their argument. And In21h, yeah, bit of a slow news week . Thanks to you both for your feedback.  Go  Phightins  !  10:32, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
 * That's a needlessly inflammatory representation of your opponents in a very complicated legal debate, James. You should know better.  Powers T 13:35, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
 * And this I bet is how the mainstream media will paint the issue if Commons moves forwards with deletion. Yes it is a complicated issue. Not having "diagnostic images" because they are complicated however does not seem like the right choice IMO. We however have a community on Commons who is willing to fight tooth and nail to keep "porn" of questionable educational value.

Where's the pornographic content? Beside the pages obviously about the topic, and of human sexuality, these types of things never pop up randomly on Wikipedia. Epicgenius (give him tirade • check out damage) 00:09, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
 * That is not true. I don't appreciate having to see that when I check my watchlist. It doesn't happen often but it can. - Shiftchange (talk) 12:12, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
