(I took a screen capture and saved it to the wiki, so they can't claim it never happened.)

If ever there were a time for all sockpuppet armies to come together to vote "Support", now is that time.

If the photo had contained male genitalia instead, this would've provided an opportunity for a certain homosexual African-American activist group to pretend that Wikipedians (who are mostly white young men interested in female parts) were discriminating against a homosexual African-American minority that does wish to view such an image.

The Commons Picture of the Day is automatically featured on the main pages of the Bengali, Bulgarian, Chinese, Russian, and Ukrainian Wikipedias, and perhaps others as well. (The link on the Bengali main page, though, seems broken at the moment; the Wikipedia itself looks moribund, judging by the dearth of recent changes.)

Looks like they were deleted not on the basis of morals and good judgment, but as copyright violations. Oh, well.

I see that Commons still has their heads shoved up their asses...

(That's a picture I'd like to see.)

Someone remind me the template-code to install on my file uploads to keep them the fuck out of Commons...

There is nothing wrong with a contributor only contributing in a certain area. Replace "nudity" with "trains" and there would be no issue at all.

There isn't really anything besides {{KeepLocal}}, which just keeps a local wiki copy of the image, but it also gets uploaded to Commons.

There's also {{Do not move to Commons}}, but that's really only for specific circumstances of non-freeness in the country of origin.

So, if you're uploading Public Domain images, then KeepLocal is your only option.

Other than that, you're doomed.
