The Donkey punch wars have now spread from English Wikipedia to Wikiquote, Wiktionary, Spanish Wikipedia and God knows what Wikirubbish, with multiple new pages created to prevent the animation from being deleted in Commons.

Commons deletion request

Wikiquote

In Wiktionary, every grammatical form and spelling of the word donkey punch now features a copy of the animation as well ...

Commonists argue that the presence of this animation file created by User:Flyingfeck, on so many "educational" projects, means that it is clearly – you guessed it – educational.

Wait! Hey! Everyone, just chill out.

Jimbo's already aware of it.

Someone oughta ask Sue Gardner if the presence... wait, the double presence (for some reason posting it once wasn't enough) of this image on Jimbo's talk page is part of Wikipedia's drive to attract more female editors.

Ok, that would be trolling, but there's a serious point in there - how can they talk all this stuff about attracting more female editors and at the same time tolerate and enable crap like this?
