💣🐕 Some attachments and thumbnails are missing because they were accidentally soft-deleted in the file storage server. However, my file system is revisioned, which means they can be rolled back and restored, but I will have to write a script to do this automatically. Sorry. New files and attachments uploaded are safe and will not be impacted by maintenace.
Feeling down? just look at that picture and you will lose your depression instantly.I've found it - the saddest image on all of the Wikimedia Commons.

At least one lawyer was sanctioned for citing Wikipedia after personally editing the article he cited to make it support his position.
I added to Wikipedia that Hitler was Autistic and it got accepted

Getting banned did nothing to slow him down.

If Wikipedia is our equivalent to the Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, then it's a pretty autistic guide. I love it
Wikipedia just taught me that a cum shot and facial are, in fact, not the same thing. Who knew? I bet Prince Albert knew.
Back in 2010 and 2011 the idea was entertained to create an opt-in "adult content" filter for pornographic images on Wikipedia, so that parents could avoid having their children access pictures such as the "autofellatio" and "flaccid micropenis" images that have been posted in this thread.
All things considered it was a pretty reasonable idea, since lazy kids will access Wikipedia to get quick answers to questions and collect information for school projects. I certainly did, and was lucky to not have made searches that bring questionable results (like this one for "male human" pls don't click it's gross).
But it didn't have a very long shelf life because Wikipedia editors were disgusted by the idea, and the Wikimedia Foundation voted 10-0 to drop the development of a "personal image hiding filter" (which would not even block the images in question, only "collapse" them upon request). In an earlier resolution it was voted that users under 18 should be allowed to edit articles in "Wikipedia Project Pornography". Wikipedia hasn't made any effort to purge the photos and films in Wikimedia that depict bestiality or sex with minors either, and its editor base is mostly content with doing nothing and yelling at people who tell them they should do something.
Larry Sanger was so outraged by this that he decided to start his own wiki website, Citizendium, which died in the water, and has written multiple articles on this that have fallen mostly on deaf ears.

And that doesn't even cover the "disgusting" content. For example, consider Fournier gangrene or Necrotizing fasciitis. Plenty more examples to be found.
I find it difficult to believe that there isn't a demographic of readers who want to learn about these topics *without* being presented by up-close and graphic images of the subject.
Wikipedia's complete denial about this is a massive case of cognitive dissonance.

So what did autism do to you for you to sperg out so much over it?
What Saddam did in the Gulf War was potatoes to what Autism has done

I remember there being a similar dispute over the article on Ebola or Smallpox or some other horrific skin disease. The article's top image was a screaming zombie-looking third world toddler covered in skin lesions. I mean I'm pretty desensitized to snuff films and it made me queasy. Arguments to remove or replace the image with something less terrible were met with mod aspie confusion. Why wouldn't people want to see an example of the disease they looked up? And maybe the image SHOULD convey how awful the topic is, even if the end result is a wiki page that is physically difficult to look at.
EDIT: Also Germany is a pretty autistic nation, I don't see where the controversy is.
Not a reason to invest your whole life into A-logging autistics.
You seem a tad defensive friend. Are you a sperg perchance?
Their worst sin is not to have an article about the Farms. Damn phaggitz.
