Would anyone care to explain why, when a photo of Basin Mountain was needed,
someone volunteered this?

I don't see Basin Mountain, all I see is ass.....

(And PS: the creator of this photo, Fordpinto77 (T-C-L-K-R-D) , has uploaded
another such photo. And posted a censored version.
How nice, Wikipedia has some free 1970s girlie pics. Gee, thanks.)

She needs to grow her hair out.

Haha, very poor photoshop. Is there an admin who can check the file history on en before it was transferred to commons?

Get your head out of the basin.


The file was copied to Commons using an upload bot, so you can treat the original upload log it generated as genuine. Looks like Fordpinto777 uploaded his Adobe® Photoshop™ enhanced cheesecake pictures from the beginning.

Fordpinto777 is obviously a mountaineer, having a beer, and now we sneer, his time is near.

It certainly adds a different meaning to the song "Climb Every Mountain!"

That is really funny.

It opens up a Pandora's Box of a competition to see who can slip in the most 'what' into a thumbnail on a namespace topic.

Of course, you realise that Wikipedia imagery is full of hidden subliminal Freemasonic symbolism and part of an Illuminati plot to establish a ruling clique of sadists and subjugate the masses into masochistic submissivity ... zzzzzzzZZZZZZ.

Well, that and showing their penises off in public.

I have no idea how one might do that.

Well, speaking of "hiding" things in pictures, back in 2007 it was discovered that a ring of file sharers was uploading pictures with steganographically hidden files inside. It seems users of a something-or-other-"Chan" message board were sharing pirated e-books with each other, and hit upon the idea of using Wikipedia as a free file host by hiding them in pictures they uploaded. It was pretty clever; we probably wouldn't have found out had a participant on the message board not ratted 'em out. Theoretically, it's impossible to stop, save for disallowing image uploads completely.

Somehow I doubt the file host could realistically be held liable for something which is by definition undetectable unless one already knows what they are looking for.

However in an IP-doomsday scenario where this is deemed something to worry about, it seems like it would be easy enough for the server to resample all raster images upon upload in a way that makes no difference visible to the human eye, but garbles enough of the hidden data to make it useless. That is, unless the hidden data is in fact another (super-imposed) photo...

Of course SVG's would be a whole other can of worms...

I have absolutely no problem with this photo.

This is one of the reasons I've given up on Wikipedia. Anywhere else on the planet, this person would be banned and the photos deleted on the spot. But on Wikipedia, I can predict what will happen - someone will take them to IFD. The "Wikipedia is not censored" crowd will show up and whine about "censorship" (because, obviously, not having a naked woman on a photo of a mountain is censorship), and then the issue will be eschewed completely because the images are probably copyright violations (photoshops of someone else's photo). Meanwhile, the user is just laughing at how stupid everyone is.

Not the first such photo uploaded by this user either... [1]

So now the game is...who can spot the nude in this one?

Mmmm...nice looking piece of horse flesh there! I need to investigate this one further.

You hit the nail on the head.

If the Stupid Photo contest is still open, I nominate File:Carole, Sea 8.jpg.

Not a tropical beach. Indeed it looks like East Devon, where it was taken. Fricking cold English Channel water. Observe how comfortable the nice lady looks. One suspects she's been out there several minutes all day....

Eva, where's your sense of the surreal? To be able to look through "charm'd magic casements, opening on the foam of perilous seas, in faery lands forlorn"?

Commons user Creator likes to upload photos of his naked self, usually including his genitals.

This one (NSFW) is particularly stupid because of the labels on the photo itself, and his description.

Marin H.'s question on his talk page, "Realizing a good image of a loin without showing your penis to the world was not possible?" remains unanswered.

That's disturbing; I have to wonder if the guy in question is into cannibalism or something.

Is it not possible to photograph the thighs without photographing the penis?

Actually, this is probably my candidate for Stupid Photo Of The Month:

Words fail me. Don't understand how Britannica missed this one.

That photograph illustrates, beautifully may I add, some of my greatest sexual experiences!

And I don't know why it hasn't been used to illustrate the Marsden section of Jimbo's BLP. Is it because it's a hand phone and not an Apple labtop? Inquiring minds want to know.

It's a valid image so I've added it to the phone sex article

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...oldid=319877180

And it was reverted.

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...oldid=321996254

And re-added by Alison.

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...oldid=321997577

And removed again

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...oldid=322001797

with comment "Oh come on, leave that stuff at WR. It's just a silly image, nothing useful."

And put back again in a hopeful compromise!

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...oldid=322016403

Golly! Isn't this fun!!



And more to the point: why is it that, months after Jimbo ordered a pile of Shankbone's nasty photos deleted, there are new ones being added?

This guy is great.

"File:Carving knives 2.JPG ‎ "

Hmm, what could that be? Yes, that's right, a guy with two knives stuck in his anus. Just what the world needs.

I don't think they are actually up his anus, but I find it hard to think of any reason those pictures could be used.

Perhaps someone should try and add it to "knife" on Wiki or the like!

Somebody dig up the WR link to the "hip and buttocks padding" controversy over "electric knife".
