'''Instructions'''
:'''Making requests'''
:'''Making requests''' - Requests for additions, removals, or exceptions may be made on this page. Any [[Wikipedia:Administrators|administrator]] can make changes to the list. If there is no response to the request after a reasonable time consider making a request at the [[Wikipedia:Administrator's noticeboard|Administrator's noticeboard]].
:: Requests for additions, removals, or exceptions may be made on this page. Any [[Wikipedia:Administrators|administrator]] can make changes to the list. If there is no response after a reasonable time, consider repeating a request at the [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard|Administrators' noticeboard]]. If the file in question has no foreseeable good faith use, consider [[Wikipedia:Files for discussion|nominating it for deletion]] rather than requesting its addition to this list.
:'''Posting to the list''' - The format is as follows: Only list items (lines starting with "*") are considered. The first link on a line must be the link to the high-risk image. It is recommended that you use an initial colon in this link, so people can view this page without seeing all the restricted images. Any subsequent links on the same line are exceptions, i.e. articles where that image is allowed to be displayed inline. Text outside of links is ignored and can be used for comments. Piped links cannot be used. Please check the spelling of potential duplicate images before removing.
:'''Posting to the list'''
:'''Image talk page post''' - Place {{tl|Badimage}} on the image talk page. This will advise users how to request that the image to be allowed on articles (that is, to expand the ''except'' list for it).
:: The format is as follows: Only bulleted list items (lines starting with "*") are considered. The first link on a line must be the link to the high-risk image. It is recommended that you use an initial colon in this link, so people can view this page without seeing all the restricted images. Any subsequent links on the same line are exceptions, i.e. articles where that image is allowed to be displayed inline. Text outside of links is ignored and can be used for comments.

:This situation does not appear to fall within the scope of this page. Not done.
:I would recommend asking the user in question to remove the image, explaining that you find the image offensive. If needed, you may point to the line about as being "inconsiderate" under [[Wikipedia:User page#Inappropriate content]]. If the user in question rejects your request, you are free to ask for a second opinion at [[WP:AN]] or a page within the [[WP:DR|dispute resolution process]]. If you believe that the material is "extremely offensive" you have the option of removing the image unilaterally, but experience suggests that you would be promptly reverted and the subsequent discussion will be both more heated and less productive than if you simply asked politely first. - [[User:BanyanTree|Banyan]][[User talk:BanyanTree|Tree]] 11:10, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
::I already asked politely, explaining how the image was offensive and inapproriate for a userpage. The user rejected my request and said [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:WebHamster&diff=276089616&oldid=276079376 Your bible belt prudery is your problem, not mine.]. [[User:TharsHammar|TharsHammar]] ([[User talk:TharsHammar|talk]]) 15:57, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
:::Then you have the other options outlined. This list is not meant to police a single user's user page choices. - [[User:BanyanTree|Banyan]][[User talk:BanyanTree|Tree]] 23:04, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
::::hmmmm... I'm just passing through, but wondered about the 'scope' thing - isn't this pic rather similar to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Brazilian_Waxing.jpg this one] already on the list? (although I don't really know why that image is on the list). That would seem to fit the description at the top. Truth is I find it very hard to figure out where the line is, and it would seem to me that sexually explicit material generally qualifies, no? [[User:Privatemusings|Privatemusings]] ([[User talk:Privatemusings|talk]]) 07:55, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
:::::Yeah, it's a blurry line though criteria have gradually become more strict over the past few years. Most new additions are made after actually being used for vandalism, and the odd addition for "similarity" tends to be either close-ups for male genitalia and spread-legged closeups of female genitalia. (Vandals seem to find a full-screen penis hilarious in all circumstances but are more fickle when it comes to women.) In my experience, [[:File:Waxed_pudenda.jpg]] is questionable on the "substantial likelihood" grounds, and this list has always tried to be conservative to minimize the calls of "censorship!" that appear on this talk page.
:::::The original poster was not reporting vandalism but was in effect stating, if I might go out on a limb, "A user has an image on his user page that I don't like and he won't take it down, so put it on this list and I can avoid a straightforward argument further along in the dispute resolution process." I wouldn't do such a thing on principle and, even if I did, I would add an exception for the user page in question to avoid taking a side in the dispute, which would not please the original poster in any case. Not that I think the complaint is not without merit; in my opinion, that use of that image is boorish and juvenile at best, and a broader community discussion may result in consensus that it is disruptive and should be removed. But no single admin, including me, should be eager to make that decision in a borderline case, and this page is not the proper forum to have a discussion on what is appropriate in the user space in any case. [[WP:AN/I]] and [[WP:VPP]] is that way.
:::::If an image on the list is similar to that is not, and the one off the list has been around without incident for awhile, that would be an argument to remove the one listed here. I would be favorable if you wished to make a request and see what happens. - [[User:BanyanTree|Banyan]][[User talk:BanyanTree|Tree]] 08:27, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
::::::You are going out on a very thin limb. [[Wikipedia:Vandalism]] states in its opening paragraph "Common types of vandalism are the addition of obscenities or crude humor." You yourself just said "use of that image is boorish and juvenile at best." This project page states "To be included on the list, the image either (i) was used for vandalism or (ii) is similar to images already on the list such that there is a substantial likelihood that the image will be used for disruption" so I brought the matter here, where you, in effect stated, if I might [[WP:AGF|go out on a limb]], that your own personal sexist criteria for vandalism/obsence is where full male frontal nudity is more vandalisciousness than full female frontal nudity. [[User:TharsHammar|TharsHammar]]<sup>'' [[Special:Contributions/TharsHammar|Bits]]''</sup> and<sup>''[[User_talk:TharsHammar#top|Pieces]]''</sup> 23:44, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
:::::::We can't help that Wikipedia vandals are sexist. They like to add penis images more than any other image. Besides, if the image in question would be on the list an exception would be made for [[User:WebHamster|this]] userpage. For more drama please read [[Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#nudie_pics_on_user_pages|this]] closed discussion. [[User:Garion96|Garion96]] [[User talk:Garion96|(talk)]] 00:05, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
::::::::Related discussion at [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive190#nudie pics on user pages]], [[User talk:Jimbo Wales#User page rights versus maintaining a professional atmosphere- any opinions?]], [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:WebHamster]] and [[Wikipedia talk:Signatures#Require link to usertalk page in signatures?]]. How did that turn into the wiki Drama of the Week? Sheesh, that's even more of a SNAFU than I expected.
::::::::TharsHammer, I apologize if I came to the wrong conclusion. A user opposing an image used in the userspace would normally ask for deletion of the user page and/or seek administrative action against the editor specifically. These are all more effective than using this list because it is possible to nail down the concern to a particular user and page, which is not the case for vandals who create throw away accounts and/or use rotating IPs to vandalize multiple pages, which is the sort of disruption this list was created to halt. Upon reflection, your request falls into the realm of possible reactions to a sincere concern of this type. Note that the paragraph you are quoting from at [[WP:V]] ends "into articles". A user page is not an article, and most policies that are designed for the main namespace to not apply to pages that are not articles. Wikipedia users have historically had nearly free reign when it comes to what they put in their own user space. And if you doubt that vandals are less selective when choosing images of male genitalia for vandalism, I encourage you to go through the history of this list and the archives of this talk page. - [[User:BanyanTree|Banyan]][[User talk:BanyanTree|Tree]] 10:21, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
::::::::::I really don't understand this. Why is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Brazilian_Waxing.jpg] this file on the banned images list but this [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Waxed_pudenda.jpg] file is not? It makes no sense, in fact it is skirting the rules because the File that is not banned is "edited from" the original file, but it seems to not be changed at all. I would really like a coherent expliation for why Brazilian Wax is on the banned images list but Waxed pudenda is not! If you look back through the history of this page, the Brazilian Wax was there for a long time. It was added March 7, 2008 [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Bad_image_list&diff=196474729&oldid=196471480].

:::::::::::The same day that the waxed file was created! [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Waxed_pudenda.jpg#filehistory] [[User:TharsHammar|TharsHammar]]<sup>'' [[Special:Contributions/TharsHammar|Bits]]''</sup> and<sup>''[[User_talk:TharsHammar#top|Pieces]]''</sup> 00:54, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
{unindent)The addition does not provide an informative summary, but I seem to recall some vandalism over a number of pages involving this image some ago. The short answer to your question is probably just that - images are added here when they're being used for vandalism. It's probably time it was removed - it's a fairly unlikely image for image vandalism. -- [[user:zzuuzz|zzuuzz]] <sup>[[user_talk:zzuuzz|(talk)]]</sup> 00:59, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
:The next day after the image BrazilianWax was added here an exact same image was created at waxed pudena by the user whose user page it is now on!!

::Yes. -- [[user:zzuuzz|zzuuzz]] <sup>[[user_talk:zzuuzz|(talk)]]</sup> 01:15, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
:::And you see nothing wrong with that blatent violation of the intentions of this list? An exemption wasn't asked for, as this page requires, only a new image which basically amounted to a re-naming of the file. [[User:TharsHammar|TharsHammar]]<sup>'' [[Special:Contributions/TharsHammar|Bits]]''</sup> and<sup>''[[User_talk:TharsHammar#top|Pieces]]''</sup> 02:53, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
::::I see it in quite opposite terms I think. This list is attended by a small number of admins, and is for stopping widespread disruption by vandals. We here do not dictate whether one particular use is inappropriate, but act according to what would be the uncontested consensus of the community in stopping vandalism. It works very well, probably because we steer well clear of anything controversial - if someone asks for an exemption they are normally granted it without question. We are keen to avoid any accusations of censorship, because Wikipedia doesn't do censorship. Deciding whether one particular usage is inappropriate, to be enforced by this list, is something to be decided by a wider community. In this case there is clearly no such consensus. There is also no widespread disruption from abuse of this image, in either form - this list follows blocks and protections in order of things to try, and in this case they are also prominently lacking. -- [[user:zzuuzz|zzuuzz]] <sup>[[user_talk:zzuuzz|(talk)]]</sup> 09:23, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
:::::But you see no request was asked for, the user simply copied the file to a new location. If you read the top of the page it says "To be included on the list, the image either (i) was used for vandalism or (ii) is similar to images already on the list such that there is a substantial likelihood that the image will be used for disruption. The list includes a mechanism to allow posting of listed images to specific pages." I also see that the mechanism is to "Requests for additions, removals, or exceptions should normally be made on this page." I guess I was under the false impression that the people liked to follow the rules.

::::::They are not rules but an explanation of the usual procedure. Exemptions don't ''need'' to be asked for, though that's the usual way they get on the list. When an image is added, all pages which use it at the time will usually be added as exemptions. I was responsible for writing that bit about adding requests. It's intended to convey that there's usually no big deal just making a request here. It's not intended to prevent an admin unilaterally adding an image after vandalism, or to prevent someone from starting a community discussion, for example at [[WP:AN]], about whether an image should be added. And it's not intended as a requirement. Maybe I should tweak it again. -- [[user:zzuuzz|zzuuzz]] <sup>[[user_talk:zzuuzz|(talk)]]</sup> 11:03, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

== Expiry dates added to most recent additions ==

Is there a reason that [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki%3ABad_image_list&diff=287543793&oldid=287530107 expiry dates] are being added to the most recent additions? Many of those images, such as [[:File:Pussy.jpg]], belong on the list indefinitely. [[:File:M-intercourse.jpg]] also should not be removed per the reasons that the other images on this list have no expiry time. Please remove the expiry times for [[:File:00741.JPG]], [[:File:Abu ghraib feces 06a.jpg]], [[:File:AbuGhraibScandalBrown55.jpg]], [[:File:Babypamper.jpg]], [[:File:Fresh cat feces.JPG]] and [[:File:Pussy.jpg]]. The likelihood that these images will be abused is very high. There is no reason to allow chronic trolls, who have been trolling the talk pages of Wikipedia contributors [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Synergy&oldid=287537492#SPI_Yourname for over a year], to re-use these images in their next spate of vandalism. Thank you. [[User:Cunard|Cunard]] ([[User talk:Cunard|talk]]) 07:28, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
: The simple reason is that the longer that list gets, the less manageable it is. If we'd just want to have an exhaustive list of all images that are likely to be abused we could add all of [[commons:Category:Nudity]] and [[commons:Category:Feces]], and then some. But that's not really how we want Wikipedia to work, just as we don't indef-protect all pages that ever had vandalism.<br>That's why I'd much rather handle this list with escalating durations. If an image that was on the list before is being abused for a fair amount of vandalism again, it can be added again with a longer duration. I'd think that images that are currently on pages like [[penis]], [[vulva]], or whereever you typical vandal will pick up pictures to abuse, should stay on indefinitely. With all the feces pictures though, I'd assume that that guy is gone in a month or so, and adding those images didn't proof very efficient anyway, did it? [[Commons:Category:Feces]] is just too well stocked.<br>[[User talk:Amalthea|<span style="font-family:Verdana;font-variant:small-caps;color:#823824;font-weight:normal">Amalthea</span>]] 11:09, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
::Okay, I agree with your reasoning. The feces pictures aren't likely going to be abused again, but [[:File:M-intercourse.jpg]] will be. Will you remove the expiry time from that image? [[User:Cunard|Cunard]] ([[User talk:Cunard|talk]]) 22:29, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
::: Looking at that image, and the account who uploaded it, I doubt that the uploader owns copyright to it. I'm of a mind to start a deletion discussion on the three remaining pictures he uploaded.<br>In any case, M-intercourse is a picture that can certainly be abused, yes. And I don't think we'll ever see it used in an article. But has it been used for "widespread vandalism where blocks and protections are impractical"? I've only seen it being used on one IP talk page, by the one anon himself. Looking at Commons, there are 134 pictures in [[:commons:Category:Shaved genitalia (female)|Category:Shaved genitalia]] alone. Thousands in [[:commons:Category:Erotic|Category:Erotic]], [[:commons:Category:Female genitalia|Category:Female genitalia]], [[:commons:Category:Male reproductive system|Category:Male reproductive system]], …. Do you really want them all blacklisted? Half the pictures there are as likely to be used in vandalism as M-intercourse is. And that's only looking for uglies, there's [[:commons:Category:Vomiting|Category:Vomiting]], [[:commons:Category:Urinating|Category:Urinating]], [[:commons:Category:Defacation|Category:Defacation]], [[:commons:Category:Diseases|Category:Diseases]] — they are really well stocked over there.<br>What I'm saying is: Unless there's a strong reason to indefinitely include a picture in the list, we shouldn't. Personally, I would give *every* picture an expiration date, and when the date has passed I would remove it unless it's being used on a high-vandal-risk article ([[vulva]], [[anus]], [[penis]], …). Removed images should go into some sort of archive where we note how often an image was under restriction, so that if it's being readded, the expiration time can be escalated (1 month, 3 months, 9 months).

:::: I think that images that have been used for vandalism once should remain on the list indefinitely. Since these images have been found by vandals, the likelihood of them being re-used is very high, as many of these vandals are chronic trolls. Images used for vandalism are easily found either because the vandal uploaded the image or because the image has been used in an article. Blacklisting these images will reduce the level of trolling and vandalism. I don't want all the images in those categories blacklisted; I just want the ones that have been used in vandalism/trolling. You've seen that image used on one IP's talk page, but there have been many more. These IPs are proxies; see [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&limit=500&contribs=user&target=Zzuuzz&namespace=3 Zzuzz's contributions] for more image vandalism by these IPs.

:Orphaned images are deleted only if they are also fair use, under [[WP:CSD#F5]]. Commons doesn't allow fair use at all.

Maybe at some point I'll go through and see which are obsoleted, etc., but it sounds like it's not really that big of a deal and that just because there's no good reason to keep some of them doesn't mean it's necessary to delete them. --[[User:Icarus3|Icarus]] <sup>([[User_talk:Icarus3|Hi!]])</sup> 02:46, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

== File:RopeMarks at BoundCon 2008.jpg ==

I tried to edit this list to also allow [[:File:RopeMarks at BoundCon 2008.jpg]], a picture that I have taken myself, on also [[Bondage (sexual)]], because [[User:Ewawer]] saw fit to move [[Bondage (BDSM)]] to that name. But the article still doesn't display the picture. Did I do something wrong?

== [[:File:Goatse.fr homepage.png]] ==

Apparently it has been used for vandalism and I am sure that it is a likely target in future; not to mention the fact that it is non free-use and is only allowed on here because of fair-use rationale. It should be allowed inclusion on the [[Goatse.cx]] article, because it is of encyclopedic use.

== A couple to add ==

I recommend adding [[:File:Cumfac-01.svg]] and [[:File:Wiki-bukkake-2.png]] to the list. The first is a vector version of one already on the list, and the second is used in an article which has another similar (unused) bad image in the list. Whilst I've seen no evidence for vandalism with these, is it right to be proactive?

File:Genital herpes.jpg and File:Genital herpes female.jpg

[edit]

Should we be allowed to display these images on the article about genital herpes? Jarble (talk) 15:05, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File:Clitoris.jpg, File:Clitoris-Vivero-Becker-purp-temp.jpg and File:Clitoris-Vivero-Becker.jpg

[edit]

Should we be allowed to display these images on the article about the clitoris? Jarble (talk) 15:07, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jarble we generally do not add exceptions unless there is actually a desire to use particular images in an article. Simply the possibility that they might be useful isn't sufficient. Elli (talk | contribs) 15:15, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Elli: I didn't know that we had such a rule; why are we not allowed to add exceptions for images on articles where they are relevant and potentially useful, but not currently in use? Jarble (talk) 15:28, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Because it's pointless and a waste of effort. If you want to use the images in the article, you can request them. If not, then why bother? Elli (talk | contribs) 15:30, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
