Because the damn article is about a guy sucking his penis and when
I read an article about someone sucking their own penis I want some
proof and I don't want people forcing me to read an inferior
encyclopedia that doesn't have this proof because they're squeamish
or prudish, especially when there are technical ways of dealing
with it.
Wow, you've completely failed to read virtually every message I've
written, haven't you?
I've said repeatedly this is about *inlining*. Go ahead and link to
the image, I don't care about that. I care about it being inlined in
the article.
Great, however this would be a compromise for me until a technical
solution is forthcoming.
Unfortunately, instead of compromising, a vote was resorted to, which
killed any chance at compromise.
This is an object lesson in why votes should be used rarely if ever to
decide things on Wikipedia.
