Template:The Hot sex barnstar

[edit]

Not appropriate for our concept of barnstars, which should be recognition of wiki building skills and contributions. There are barnstars for efforts to 'defender of pics of cocks'; this barnstar is not it. We can subst the few existing usages. John Vandenberg (chat) 10:29, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Since there is always the same debate if sexuality related images are valuable or not – in my opinion they are, others always consider them as trash – we created this barnstar for those who are constantly attacked by some kind of people, which think that sexuality has nothing to do with education (→ Commons) and is the devil itself. This barnstar is meant to encourage contributers to extend commons with valuable images, despite the fact that they have a hard time at Commons, being harassed by well known participants¹, and so on. --／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼ 署名の宣言 08:07, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
¹ participants: doesn't mean that they actually contribute content (contributer).
  • We have {{The Defender of the Wiki Barnstar}} for contributors who are inappropriately attacked while contending with people who those who want to damage the wiki, and {{The Valued Image Barnstar}}/{{The Quality Image Barnstar}} for contributors who provide properly assessed valued and quality images respectively. I think those are more appropriate as they are recognising the type of contribution. This is a "hot sex" barnstar, and we should not be awarding people for "hot sex" as that is beyond the scope of this project unless the participants upload quality photographs of the hot sex. Why "hot" sex? It is not appropriate to hand out barnstars that use such a loaded term, suggestive of a type of sex that is better in some way, as some awardees would positively object to having another person be so rude as to try to tell them that 'hot sex' is a desirable thing. Please consider using a more general barnstar, or at least rename it to be more akin to what it is that you believe the awardees have done to warrant the barnstar.

  •  Keep Nothing wrong with this template. In fact, thanks for bringing it to my attention. Sinnamon Girl (talk) 13:12, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep As per Niabot. Handcuffed (talk) 01:31, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep but rename to something more appropriate as per John. We obviously do have contributors on this project of such materials, and they do deserve some recognition. If we tone down the name and make it more generalised, as per other barnstars, I see no reason that this couldn't be kept. russavia (talk) 16:06, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
How about "The Throbing Barnstar of Love"? Carrite (talk) 01:30, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Now that is just not a valid line of argument, in my opinion. On the Barnstars Page I am seeing the History Barnstar, the Chemistry Barnstar, the Geography Barnstar, the Natural Science Barnstar, the Architecture Barnstar, the Mathematical Illustrator's Barnstar... WIKIMEDIA COMMONS IS NOT CENSORED. Carrite (talk) 02:02, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delete I would certainly not feel comfortable receiving this barnstar on my talk page that is why I am for delete. Having said that I am not implying that I deserve this or any other barnstar ;)--Vyom25 (talk) 06:10, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep We still have many times more images of the sexual organs of plants than we have images of the sexual organs of humans. Geo Swan (talk) 06:55, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep Whether I or anyone else likes this barnstar or would want it on my/their page is irrelevant. It seems to be perfectly within Commons policies and precedents. Thryduulf (talk) 10:02, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delete If in an alternate universe, the Wikimedia project was created by the cast of the Jersey Shore, this is the kind of barnstar they'd create. This is not how how a WMF project should be displaying itself to the public, a barnstar of porn is not within the scope of this or any other project here. Tarc (talk) 17:36, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Not banned users. :) Ottava Rima (talk) 16:48, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Kept.

I can't see any reasons to delete this template; most of the deletion votes (opinions) — including those ironic keep votes — seem to be focused around the issue of either Commons having too much pornography, or else about sexuality, and users' feelings towards it. While these can be valid opinions in a theoretical debate about the scope of Wikimedia Commons and possible usage of sexuality-related pictures, I feel that they should not have too much weight in a deletion discussion, for its effects are purely practical.

As some !keep votes show, the template has a very distinctive usage purpose, and does not violate any community behaviour rules or guidelines. It should be noted, though, that the name of the barnstar might not necessarily be the best one, and if anybody feels like doing it, I invite them to start a renaming discussion on the template's talk page.

This being said, I'm closing this DR as kept and invite people interested in this barnstar to discuss its future on the said talk page. odder (talk) 15:56, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
