Donkey punch, The new face of education Options

[HRIP7]

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.

You would have thought someone would have done this by now...

Just for future reference, the animation was kept, by the editor who opined just a little while ago on Jimbo's talk page:

When I masturbate in public, I don't really feel any different than when I do it in private; can you possibly tell us why when you masturbate in public, it hurts? [[User:Russavia|Y u no be Russavia]] ^{[[User talk:Russavia|ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)]]} 19:42, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Sounds like content management of this charitable educational project is in safe hands, then.

It is worthwhile noting the close of that deletion discussion:

Kept: On Commons, we concern ourselves with two main issues. Firstly, and most importantly, only freely-licenced materials can be hosted here. Secondly, and once the freely-licenced aspect is met, materials must be within our scope; in particular the provision of educational media.

Reviewing the history of the file, prior to this DR, I see that the file has seen use on both English Wikipedia (en:Donkey punch) since 21 October 2010[7], and Spanish Wikipedia (es:Donkey punch) since 16 February 2011[8]. Whether other WMF projects use this image is not decided at Commons, but on local projects. Commons should not be used as a tool to skirt local project discussions on usability of media on those projects.

Having said that, there are potential copyright issues with this file, which will not be resolved by way of this DR. There is another DR underway at present, which will determine whether the underlying work on this particular file is kept or deleted. If deleted, this image as a derivative of that work, will also be deleted. If kept, as I noted to an editor here, there are alleged Encyclopedia Dramatica IRC logs which indicate that the uploader is not the "copyright" owner of this image. (Quote: [2010-10-21 05:43:18] <ptime> I'll list it as my own work). As the uploader is not an established member of the community, the image has been marked with {{No permission}}, which is going to require OTRS processing. As mentioned to the editor, if any permission is received, it is going to be a stringent OTRS verification, given the source. russavia (talk) 19:35, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Russavia is quite clearly saying that this image will be deleted soon, because they know the conditions that they set cannot be met (astute observers will note that these conditions are completely bogus and not applied to other images on Commons). Since they think they have found a way to delete the image, they don't have to agree with people who want the images deleted, which would be a problem for Russavia since they probably think this is another WR plot.
