The first files he uploaded were images of underage femalia genitalia, however the account was never blocked. In fact, some of his images managed to slip through some foreign language Wikipedias in the relevant pages about female anatomy, and remained there for some time before being detected. After they were deleted, the files were re-uploaded.
By reading between the lines it seems that the account belongs to a now over-18 woman who took the pictures herself while she was young; or a boyfriend who took pictures of the girlfriend. In theory. In reality, it could just be yet another fake.

Not any more there aren't.

What made you think they were under-age? The usual hairless argument?

I haven't seen them, but the user specified that the photos represented "vulva before puberty".
Now if that is just trolling and the actual photos were of an adult woman, then the users got trolled.
Since the user is still around, the police must think the images weren't illegal, or he would be in jail right now.

Speedy delete The intention is, I'm sure, educational and there's no evidence of any connection to child abuse. However, I think this image is very likely to fall foul of the law in the US where the Commons is hosted. --Simonxag (talk) 01:43, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

Deleted: Illegal under child pornography laws of US where Commons is hosted. Also contacted WMF to get a developer purge if necessary. Dcoetzee (talk) 03:14, 17 March 2011 (UTC)



The developer purge never arrived?

It does boil my bum, but naked, intimate photos of kids does not necessarily make them porn. Though it does have to be said that perhaps there are worse places to put them than Commons.

Context and usage is every thing.

Unlikely, because they are easy to find there and can be freely re-used even in the unlikely event that the sort of site that might re-use them is worried about copyright.

OK, so if they're re-used in a pro-paedophile article or an article on some particularly revolting sexula practice that will be fine? yecch.gif

As long as nobody sees the picture, or doesn't see the relevant page where the picture is included...

Actually it's the opposite.

Used in an educational context then they are fine, used for paedo porn, not fine.

Pornography is in the eye of the beholder, not necessarily the publisher.

For example, there was an image mentioned in another thread a few days ago, where there were three little 'uns nekkid and covered in mud. In my eyes, ie the eyes of a parent, the photograph was very cute, perfectly harmless and was not sexually oriented in any way and a perfectly wonderful image of three beautiful little children which just exuded innocence. But because of the way the world is now, partly due to prudery, partly due to knee-jerk reactions, partly due to media incitement and partly due to the sick demands of paedophiles this beautiful picture is now deemed to be "child porn".

If you were the father of the three kids and saw the pic on a site where everyone can download it, would you be fine with it?

Probably. I think that's a gorgeous image. The looks on the kids' faces is pure innocence, the fact they are nude is irrelevant as far as I'm concerned. Unfortunately I don't have any images of my kids that are as nice as that one.

In any case, I'm probably the wrong person to ask. I'm an ex-swinger and ex-naturist, with my kids having grown up in the culture of the latter.

I also don't concern myself with what sick fucks do in their bedrooms with pictures of kids.

And your custom description reads "Pervert & Swinger." You were the one with a shaved vulva on your en.wp userpage, no? Do you not see a continuum between your own behavior and that of Benjiboi or Fæ? Asked another way, were Wikimedia projects legitimate scholarly endeavors, shouldn't someone in authority have taken one look at any of this and said, "wtf, no?"
