How could Wikipedians possibly be thinking of deleting this great piece of art (probably NSFW) http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:On_...rld_version.jpg

Darn, I really like that one.

Maybe they should just delete everything else and keep that.

I share your sense of shock and dismay. The figure would appear to be a most appropriate representation of the ideals of the WMF; all set to "repel trolls and stalkers" with her Crosier of Power™.

It's Picture of the Day on the Bengali Wikipedia!

Chinese, Russian and Bulgarian too.

This is Wikipedia. You let Deviant Art nerds edit an "encyclopedia",
and they will inevitably turn Commons into another Deviant Art.
And then fill it up with their insipid fetishistic manga-pinup art.

(Don't forget, Niabot also did this one. NSFW. Niabot tries to nominate all of his cartoons for
Featured Pictures, and very few of them get thru. Read the Futanari talkpage for more fun.)

Looks like someone on Foundation-L made the connection:

Yah, and he sneaks in a little bit of panchira where he can

I'm not usually a fan of Niabots work, but I love the octopus in that one. I think it should replace Wikipetan as WP's official unofficial mascot. Septo, the seven-armed octopus.

There was quite a bit of discussion at the Russian Wikipedia's main page talk about the Edge of the World image when it appeared on their main page.

One of the Russian editors nominated the Edge of the World image for delisting as a featured picture, and got a well-argued, civil response, based on the other editor's superior understanding of Commons' educational mission.

The cheeky bugger also placed his manga image onto a photo of the Escher museum.

Educational.

Your arguments in the removal page were quite good. But it's not working--I count 7 to keep
and 5 to delist. (Nerds do love those anime boobs. Takes one to know one. )

That's a valid point. Any picture with boobs is automatically considered valuable and educational by at least a third of voters, without further considerations coming into play. So it's an up-boob struggle.
