Hello,

While looking for something else, I noticed that Ryan Postlethwaite is allowed to have an image of a "Human penis both flaccid and erect" on his user page but no one else allowed to.

See details at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Bad_image_list

QUOTE
File:Human penis both flaccid and erect.jpg except on Penis, User:Ryan Postlethwaite/Awards, User:Ryan Postlethwaite




Does anyone know how one would get permission for such a thing - not that I want one - does ArbCom or a steward have to O.K. it?

As far as I can tell it was WJBScribe who originally gave the explicit permission to Ryan.

You'd think someone would have taken one look at this and banned them both on the spot.
