[WikiEN-l] On rights, NPOV and photos

Thu May 13 19:48:00 UTC 2004

a) When the WP include videos, we might as well include the beheading.

b) By adopting the "all articles must be treated the same way" we are 
assuming content is less important than NPOV. This might be true for 
things but if this is true for persons, I think the project is biased 
towards "people have no rights and this project has rights over all 
people".

c) In any case, I see there is a POV here: people have no values worth 
more than a presumed right of the WP to "inform" (whatever that presumed 
right might mean).

I know I have a POV. And all of you realize this is not 
censorship/offensivenes. It is called dignity. I have to say I feel shame 
while reading many of these posts. And you will tell me you feel 
shame/pity/nothing/something/whatever at reading this 
pathetic/emotive/void/interesting/uninteresting post. You know what? It is 
your problem.

But, Jimbo, do not let Erik's politeness about NPOV mislead you. It is not 
taste, it is not education, it is a human undeniable right. Which if 
denied (and it has been here and in the talk page at N.Berg's article) 
allows us to overcome Wikikette, wikilove and any other concept.

I have to say that in order to keep my peace of mind I am not reading this 
mailing list any more for a while (at the very least some days). If 
someone wants to contact me, I am Pfortuny and my address is accessible.

Hope we agree in some little minimalistic but certain human rights before 
the project collapses,

Pedro.
