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)

Probably better to semiprotect the article rather than adding it here. If it starts happening again, please request at WP:RFPP — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 03:55, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

File:Necrotizing fasciitis left leg.JPEG

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. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 11:42, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

 Not done. This page is generally used to blacklist explicit images which have no or limited encyclopaedic use. The last I would list if it had been used extensively for vandalism but it could arguably have an encyclopaedic value. The rest I wouldn't list without a consensus at somewhere like the admins' noticeboard. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 10:38, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

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)

Suggested addition

Recent use in vandalism e.g. here and on User talk:Glen. No current use in articles on enwiki. Facial (sexual act) is currently using the png version and could be a possible exception. Wham2001 (talk) 16:40, 20 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)

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)

If these "bad images" aren't being used in articles, is there a reason they are not simply deleted? I assume that they have a place on this list because they've been judged to be offensive, so why are they kept on en-Wiki? Liz Read! Talk! 02:36, 5 January 2021 (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)

@Alfa-ketosav: Commons' policies and goals differ from the English Wikipedia's, as set by their community - you would need to follow up with that project to learn more, a good place to start is here: commons:Commons:Project scope. You may nominated commons files for deletion on commons.

@Liz: The only way to do this is just blacklist the image if you think that's appropriate - I think some of us here usually prefer to see a pattern of vandalism - and then process any requests for exceptions as normal when they appear on this page (there are currently no uses to add as exceptions), which is to say add exemptions relatively liberally. -- zzuuzz (talk) 19:24, 14 September 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)

There's a reason why the tracing is used - we generally don't use photographs in articles on sexual activity. It's not universal, but it's broadly applied. Acroterion (talk) 02:54, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

  • When I created this account in 2013 I had this eponymous picture on my user page. I also had this user box https://wiki.riteme.site/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)

Allow exception of File:Flag of Hezbollah.svg on page 'Afghan rebel flags'

The file File:Flag of Hezbollah.svg should be granted an exception on the page Afghan rebel flags, as currently it just shows up as a link to the file. The Hezbollah flag was used by the Tehran Eight, which as an Iranian backed Shi'a faction in the Soviet-Afghan War. --Peralien (talk) 01:54, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

@Peralien:  Not done. 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. If you still think it should be displayed inline (rather than having no image and a text link to the Flag of Hezbollah article) first draft a valid NFUR and then request an exception again here with a copy or link to the NFUR. If you need help with writing an NFUR or have questions about any of this then the folks at WP:MCQ are probably the most able to assist. Thryduulf (talk) 03:03, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

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)
Listing as  Not done because OP has not provided hard evidence for why these specifically need to be blacklisted.

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)

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)

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)

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)

I think you'll agree it's going to be pretty offensive if it's used in the wrong place (probably how it ended up here in the first place). Anyway, for reference it was added in 2020 by Malcolmxl5, so let's casually float the idea their way. -- zzuuzz (talk) 16:02, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
My memory of the summer of 2020 is pretty hazy but it’s likely it was being spammed across the encyclopedia by someone who thought it funny to do that. Perhaps they’ve gone away. Let’s remove it from the list and see. -- Malcolmxl5 (talk) 16:19, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
zzuuzz I think the difference with that one is that while there are a certain number of articles that Osama's face would be offensive on, for most of the images here, there are a certain number of articles that it would *not* be offensive on. For example, to pick a random image here, a photo of an inserted butt plug might be viewed as offensive on the page for M&T Bank Stadium (The stadium that the Baltimore Ravens play at) where Osama's face wouldn't be viewed in the same way. I don't know if there is anyway to *reverse* the Mediawiki tech to only ban it from a specific number of articles. In any case, I think we are on the same wavelength.Naraht (talk) 17:30, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

I *really* don't expect this to be possible for the *Hundreds* of exceptions that would need to be made, with everything from lists of medalists in individual olympic sports where a citizen of Germany won a medal in the 1936 olympics to lists of Chancellors of Germany to all infoboxes of Battles that included the 3R. See https://linkcount.toolforge.org/?project=wiki.riteme.site&page=File%3AFlag+of+Germany+%281935%E2%80%931945%29.svg , that says used in 13,000 pages.Naraht (talk) 17:23, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
This answer certainly makes sense. I'm unaware of any technical limit to the number of exceptions, but if there are too many it makes page maintenance more difficult. Additionally, if the image is already in use on hundreds of pages, there's a very good chance that lots of pages which should be created, but haven't been yet, will need to be added as well.

@Untamed1910:A more careful check shows that this image is used on 119 template-namespace pages (one of these being a stub tag), including 14 subpages (documentation pages and usecase pages which transclude the templates and sansboxes with hardcoded copies of them). Even if listing the templates is good enough for the transcluding articles (I doubt it), needing to have them listed would be a maintenance nightmare. What may work would be to ask for an edit filter, which would cover anonymous and new users adding new direct uses of these images (if you try this, mention explicitly that your request here was declined due to the image being used legitimately on too many pages, since otherwise they will send you right back here as the more efficient way to do it), but I don't know if they will do it. Animal lover |666| 15:41, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
Animal lover 666 It doesn't appear that there are any template exceptions in the Bad image list (three template talk, though). While I don't think this is the right tool, I'm not sure there is a great tool. :(Naraht (talk) 17:12, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
You'd need exemptions for both the template and its transclusions, which as you point out are both unmanageable anyway. I know of one example in the list which is File:Origin-of-the-World.jpg (examples: exempted / not exempted). I can say that we have had some 'adjacent' edit filters, but perusing the SPI for the first time I wonder if a dose of protection might be a better solution. -- zzuuzz (talk) 19:28, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
