Jimbo's user page

See this discussion at User talk:Jimbo Wales. There are several images of the Pricasso portait here that should be added to the Bad image list to prevent their misuse by a particularly tiresome troll.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 07:09, 14 December 2019 (UTC)

File:Cecil the lion at Hwange National Park (4516560206).jpg

On Jack Cork, occasionally, but not every day, a troll or trolls are frequently changing the player's image to the famous lion which made the news in 2015. That has happened numerous times now and should be on the list to prevent further disruption to the famous person's article. Iggy (Swan) (What I've been doing to maintain Wikipedia) 17:59, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

Please add File:Necrotizing fasciitis left leg.JPEG. Although the usage of this picture is normal at the moment, labeling it as a bad image prevents improper usage. In my humble opinion, it should be added into the Bad image list. --筆和擦膠必有用 (talk) 16:02, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

File:Sexuality pearl necklace small.png

I'm not gonna admit how long it took me to realise that this feature and not a markup error was at fault... But this instance appears mostly to be a technical issue--the page this image is allowed for was recently moved (seemingly correctly, so this isn't an issue), but the disparity between the current title Pearl necklace (sexual act) and the listed exception at Pearl necklace (sexuality) are causing the image to break.

File:Flag of the Soviet Union.svg

Background

The file usage is currently normal. But as of now, improper usage and vandalism includes promotion of Communism and insults to other users by using the image, which possibly could happen.

So, I hereby propose a new addition to this list. Koridas (...Puerto Rico for statehood!) 08:35, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

 Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit protected}} template. That file is so widely used that we'd either need a consensus to reduce its use or we'd need a humongously long list of exemptions. I think more discussion is necessary here.

why dont delete the file?

if its a bad image its should be deleted — Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.161.157.43 (talk) 08:52, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

Bad images are required for most articles, since photos explain it better than words Anomper012 (talk) 16:12, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
And we have no control over what happens at Pornhub Commons. Black Kite (talk) 16:13, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
Thankyou for that slander Black Kite.
OP, to answer your question, just because something is potentially a "bad" image doesn't mean it isn't educational, or useful in other contexts. A photo of a kitten would be useful on an article about cats, but not useful on an article about Bosnian war crimes. The reverse is true - an image of Bosnian war crimes would be relevant to an article about Bosnian war crimes, but would be distressing on a page about kittens. We shouldn't delete the war crimes image just because it's being used to vandalise, but we can instead restrict its use to that one article.
Another aspect to consider is that Wikimedia Commons, where most images are held, does not exist merely to serve English Wikipedia. It repository of free educational media for all Wikimedia projects and other wider uses. That will at times include things which some users may find distressing or objectionable, but we aim not to censor ourselves. -mattbuck (Talk) 19:05, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

JAM Transit Inc. 716.jpg

Also used by an LTA as part of his rather bizarre modus operandi. Blake Gripling (talk) 13:33, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

Suggested removal

This appears to be just a picture of a bus on a street (in the Philippines). I don't see any nudity, sex, disturbing content, or anything else which might ordinarily cause an image to be put on the Bad image list anywhere in the image. Perhaps I am missing something? If there is something offensive, it should probably be mentioned on the description page at File:4825Maduya,_Carmona,_Cavite_Landmarks_02.jpg so that editors will understand the problem. But if there is nothing problematic here, the image should probably be removed from the Bad image list. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 22:40, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

@Metropolitan90: IIRC, there's one LTA, whose name I can't remember right now, who likes to spam this image on user talk pages. I have no idea why. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 22:44, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
    • Thanks. In the meantime since my original post, while looking at MediaWiki talk:Bad image list/Archive 9#File:4825Maduya,_Carmona,_Cavite_Landmarks_02.jpg, I saw that someone was using this image for vandalism purposes, but I take it that the image itself is not problematic. I would suggest that, at a minimum, this image be marked as "except on JAM Liner" with a note about the long-term abuse, similar to what is done for File:JAM Liner Inc. 1520.jpg and File:JAM Transit Inc. 1556.jpg. But I would prefer to punish the vandal and leave these innocuous photos off the Bad image list. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 22:49, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
      No objections from me to marking LTA images as such, so long as the LTA isn't named. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 23:15, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
      • But the other two JAM Liner bus photos are the only photos on the Bad image list that are indicated as being banned because of a user spamming them. Why should we ban these photos when the photos themselves are not problematic -- only the LTA who uses them for spam? --Metropolitan90 (talk) 18:42, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
        • Well the thing is that the troll using it is spamming these images ad nauseam for some bizarre or inexplicable reason, perhaps to incite drama or reaction from those who he likes to "play" with. Giving him less of a means to use Wikipedia as his sick playground should be in order. Blake Gripling (talk) 13:39, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

Flag of Hezbollah

hello, could i please use 'Flag_of_Hezbollah.svg' for the 'List of flags by color combination'

--wvdp (talk) 07:10, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

@Wvdp I am not an admin, but I'd say no. The reason why we have images added to the bad image list is because they are frequently used for vandalism. You will need to give a good reason why the image should be used. Also, we do not have other contentious symbols on that page, including the Nazi flag or the ISIL flag, and per the principle of least astonishment we should not include objectionable material unless if we can treat it in an encyclopedic manner. Aasim (talk) 07:20, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
I think we can use the image in an encyclopedic way. This page is made so that people can look up flags by color. So, if somebody uses this page to look up a yellow flag with green text they probably already see the flag and it would be nice to redirect them to a nuanced page about Hezbollah. Also there is already an entry for Hezbollah in the list just without the flag.
And without resorting to Whataboutisms the flag of the German Reich aka Nazi flag is already present as the flag for 'Germany (1935–1945)' and the ISIL flag is displayed under " Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (with white text and seal)" together with the flag of "Al-Qaeda".
So, for my closing remark, bad things exist in the world, and I think it is the job of Wikipedia to describe them in a nutural way. This includes adding some flags to List_of_flags_by_color_combination
-- wvdp (talk) 09:56, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
@Wvdp if you say so, then I'd suggest that you use the {{edit protected}} template to get the attention of an admin. State that you want "List_of_flags_by_color_combination" to be whitelisted for the image that you suggested. I highly doubt that it will be accepted though. Aasim (talk) 00:28, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

Sorting the list

I've restored the traditional locale or "English" sorting for the list. It's not really important in the grand scheme of things, but I thought I would take the opportunity to make a note for future reference, and mention a relevant script.

The difference between locale sorting and other sorting can be seen with this example: Given these characters ['b', 'á', 'C'], locale sorting returns ['á', 'b', 'C'], whereas character sorting returns ['C', 'b', 'á']. I personally like to also tweak the punctuation sorting to better suit image extensions, so [[:File:A.jpg]] is listed before [[:File:A penis.jpg]], instead of the default which does the opposite.

Most people probably don't have ready access to this type of sorting, so I mentioned there's a script. It's work in progress and currently really basic, but you're welcome to adopt it: User:Zzuuzz/scripts/badimagelist.js. -- zzuuzz (talk) 14:18, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Nice idea! Very niche but definitely useful. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 11:52, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

Legitimate use of File:Caucasian man masturbating.jpg

The Masturbation page used this image which I noticed is just a tracing of this image. I thought "why not just use the original image?" so I changed it; however, it did not show. The warning on the file page says "To prevent the use of this file for vandalism, it can only be used on pages for which it is specifically allowed," and "To use this file legitimately, contact an administrator..." so I came here. I think this usage is legitimate. Desperatefisherman (talk) 02:46, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

File:"EUSSR" flag.svg used mainly for a single troll userbox on English Wikipedia

File:"EUSSR" flag.svg is an inflammatory image that is only used on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:User_Euroscepticism (created by a disruptive user) and someone’s sandbox page here on English Wikipedia, but has legitimate uses on other Wikipedias. I was wondering if it should be blacklisted to prevent further troll use. Dronebogus (talk) 18:00, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

New addition needed...

Why is File:Paul Stanley looking sober.jpg on the list?

It’s a hilariously unflattering picture, yes, but it’s not in the familiar trifecta of “shit, dicks, gangrene” or otherwise obviously trollish. Dronebogus (talk) 06:24, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

Legitimate use request for :File:Origin-of-the-World.jpg

  • This is an image of a famous oil painting that hangs in the Musee D'Orsay. The right to display it on Facebook has been litigated and won - see L'Origine_du_monde#Censorship_and_legal_battles.
  • When I created this account in 2013 I had this eponymous picture on my user page. I also had this user box https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:User_Gustave_Courbet. Very soon after, I was confused with a vandal by a mistaken checkuser, got frustrated, misbehaved, and was blocked. During this process this file was added to the Bad image list and I was refused permission to have it on my page (which was even blanked). I was unblocked over 3 years ago and now request that I be again allowed to use the image on my user page (which has a daily average of zero views). I also request that it be restored to the user box. I do not believe that there has ever been a case of the user box being used by vandals, and the image is very small.♥ L'Origine du monde ♥ ♥ Talk ♥ 18:26, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

Links: ANI block discussion, Previous 'refusal', MfD1, MfD2. @L'Origine du monde: anything else? There have been concerns previously expressed about the size of the image. Do you have any statement about the intended size or placement of the image? Perhaps you're thinking it should be in-your-face-full-size-at-the-top for visitors to your user page? -- zzuuzz (talk) 19:14, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for dredging that up user:zzuuzz! Looking through the discussion I see that the customary exemptions for established use, such as the info box or the 4 users who had it on their user page, were omitted in this case. I was planning to replace image:Gustave Courbet - La Source - Musée d'Orsay.jpg, another nude by the same artist, which I have had on my page since July 2019 with no comment or objection. It is currently a 600 pixel thumb image. I just checked, but I can't see what that would look like with this image, as it is blocked! ♥ L'Origine du monde ♥ ♥ Talk ♥ 19:17, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
This is a rather different image to the one you currently have, and it's rather iconic (and used by vandals) for the same reasons. I think it would be a mistake to use this image at the same or any other significant size as the top image on your user page. That's an interim comment and not a refusal - there's obviously some reading to be done first. -- zzuuzz (talk) 19:34, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
Thank you very much zzuuzz! I don't know what has happened since, but the discussion from 2013 suggested that there had been extremely limited use by vandals, and the image was expressly added because I had it on my user page. While I believe strongly that there should be an unfettered right to display all nude paintings of artistic value in user space, I could limit the size of the image further should that be required, although I do feel that there is a difference between displaying a painting and showing an icon of said work. ♥ L'Origine du monde ♥ ♥ Talk ♥ 19:45, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
You're not going to persuade me that this image is not used by vandals, hence removal from the list is not an option. However, I've added several exceptions, including the template and your (current) user page. This is done at your own risk. As I understand it, a template image will not display unless the user page is also exempted, so the template is probably of limited use. -- zzuuzz (talk) 20:51, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

This is a non-free image and so it needs a valid WP:NFUR for each use, the standard one for a non-free logo (as used for the two articles this image is currently used on) is not suitable for a list article.

Do you have evidence for this or are you just trying to preemptively censor potentially useful images? Blacklisting an image is not a frivolous act— it’s a last resort that renders an image largely unusable. Dronebogus (talk) 12:18, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
As a note, File:Flag of Nazi Germany.svg is currently on over 11,000 pages on Wikipedia including articles on virtually any WWII battle in Europe (mostly in the infobox indicating the leaders/units in the battles) as well as such pages as United States men's national basketball team as the flag that the National Host country had at the time is used as part of the indication for the table row for how the team did in each international competition, including the Olympics. And as for the Horst-Wessel Song, I don't know of any way to cause a song file to autoplay when it is on a page, so using it in vandalism doesn't seem possible (I yield to those with more technical knowledge than I have on this) Naraht (talk) 14:10, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

File:From Her Body Sprang Their Greatest Wealth 2013 Nona Faustine.jpeg

Wondering if this image should be blocked from use anywhere except the article for the pictured photograph's author, Nona Faustine. The pictured photograph is a nude portrait of the artist, part of her widely cited series White Shoes, which is discussed in the Nona Faustine article. I know several other famous contemporary artworks that feature identifiable nude figures have been added to this list, wasn't sure what the standard is if there hasn't yet been any vandalism with the photograph. I believe it wouldn't be appropriate to be used anywhere else, but I wanted to be sure that was an OK rationale. Thanks! 19h00s (talk) 22:19, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

I don’t see any good reason to blacklist this image here. If she took the photo she clearly isn’t particularly concerned about people seeing her nude, and there are no cited cases of vandalism, and it’s fair use so it’s not going to show up when you search for “penis” or “nude woman” on Commons. Dronebogus (talk) 08:59, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
I ask because this fair use image is also on this list, but I have been unable to find evidence that it was ever used for vandalism. Benglis obviously also consented to her own nude image being published in Artforum, but it's also on this list. 19h00s (talk) 12:13, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
Well, the Benglis image is a much more obvious vandalism target— it’s a full-frame picture of a traditionally attractive nude woman posing suggestively with a dildo at her crotch. The image you’re recommending blacklisting is a picture featuring its subject standing sternly in a much larger image, with no genitals graphically visible let alone emphasized by props. Dronebogus (talk) 12:17, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
Happy to accept the group's decision, but I would hope that we can get to a place where we're not using "conventional attractiveness" as a part of the decision making process here. Thanks. 19h00s (talk) 12:31, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
Fair point. There was a time the Beglis image was used inappropriately shortly before its listing here.[7] Whether that's enough to justify its continued listing is debatable, though as Dronebogus says, (for whatever reason) it's not an unlikely tool for vandalism. I vaguely seem to recall it being used once upon a time. There's probably no harm done keeping it here, but on balance could probably be removed. As for the Faustine image, you're probably right in saying that it's not going to be appropriate to use elsewhere. This isn't really justification for listing, there's no evidence of misuse, and I personally don't see it as any more likely to be used for vandalism or other misuse than thousands of other unlisted images.  Not done. -- zzuuzz (talk) 12:43, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

Add an NSFW warning and blur NSFW pictures until you click them.

If you try to access a page about, or that contains, NSFW content, add a warning.

For example:

[

NSFW Warning

The page you are trying to visit contains NSFW content.

Do you want to continue?

]

If the user clicks no, they are redirected to the homepage or to their previous page. If they click yes, they are granted access to the page.

As well, blur any NSFW images until a user clicks them.

For example, someone could blur any images that are on the bad image list, and serve warnings before being allowed onto the site on pages about sexual content or sexual topics, (caution, NSFW links ahead) like bondage, cock and ball torture, or sex machines or toys.

Pages that contain references to sexual topics or contain sensitive or inappropriate images, like circumcision or the human penis or vagina, should have any inappropriate images blurred until you click them. Juoig7799revived (talk) 17:02, 15 June 2023 (UTC)

ANI involving vandalism using pornographic images

This ANI concerns two users, 202.169.232.151 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) and Tvyuubewatchercool (talk · contribs), who added pornographic images, mostly depicting naked men, to various articles. All of the edits adding such images have been RD3'd, but perhaps the images used should also be added to the bad image list. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 01:07, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

Please add File:Hamas_terrorists_murdering_civilians_in_Kibbutz_Mefalsim,_Israel_(October_2023).webm to the bad image list due to its gory nature and its potential for disruptive additions.

Also add exceptions for the current transclusions of that image as there is still a discussion whether to include the image on the project. Awesome Aasim 03:16, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

  • Oppose As far as I'm aware, potential for disruptive editing is not a valid reason for restriction. Neither is gore (see MOS:OMIMG). --
Lenny Marks (talk) 13:48, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
I am pretty sure countless other "bad images" from gore to pornography are added to this list regularly because of their lack of encyclopedic value and potential for disruption on most pages, even if the images never seemed to have been added yet. I also suggested whitelist 2023 Israel–Hamas war because that is where the image is being used right now and there is discussion about inclusion there. Awesome Aasim 14:49, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
What makes you think that images are pre-emptively added @Awesome Aasim? My understanding, based on the description at the top of the talk page, is that images included on this list are typically included due to their use in vandalism. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:57, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

Why was File:Flag of Hezbollah.svg added on this list?

Just curious. ColorfulSmoke (talk) 09:25, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

Looking through the note on the List and the suggestion to use another a version of the flag where the Arabic is either turned into blocks or deleted, it appears that the issue is that the Hezbollah flag with the Arabic has copyright issues and that it was placed here to keep from posting something with copyright issues.Naraht (talk) 15:50, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

Can you put this image on the bad image list

Is this file File:Femalebutt.jpg 199.119.233.254 (talk) 05:00, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

The bad image list is generally for images which have been used for shock vandalism. Indication that the image has been used for vandalism is generally required for it to end up on the list (for example, the images for granted requests above and in the archives) However, as a personal comment, if this image (naked female buttocks without the anus being visible) makes you uncomfortable to the point that you request that it be on the bad image list, those images actually *on* the bad image list are likely to cause you *significantly* more uncomfortablity.Naraht (talk) 05:31, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

Point taken. It appears that this particular user has an even larger list of files that they've used to vandalize other articles, for example the larger diffs in (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Mopytxs). I'm not sure what the best way is to proceed here.

File:Streisand Estate.jpg

This is a request that File:Streisand Estate.jpg be added to the bad image list. The image of the home is tagged with the celebrity Barbra Streisand's name identifying it as her home, and the home's geo-coordinates are embedded. A clear case of violation of privacy and that "the possibility of harm to living subjects must always be considered" under WP:BLP. Celebrities are known to be subject to stalkers. It is irrelevant that this photo is published elsewhere and has been for 20 years, or that it is the photo at the centre of what gave rise to the term "Streisand effect". Wikipedia can and should cover the "Streisand effect" as a term and phenomenon without publishing the photo, since the photo itself violates Wikipedia's own policies. Walton22 (talk) 03:03, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

I disagree with this request on the merits (see discussion at Talk:Streisand effect) but the proper thing to do for a privacy concern would be to nominate the image for deletion on Commons – the bad image list is generally for media used as shock images. – Teratix ₵ 03:23, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
