The description of this portrait tells us that Austrian violinist Rudolf Deman (1880-1960) is pictured by Frida Leider in 1955 and owned by the family. Frida Leider (1888-1975) was well-known singer and Deman's wife, as being dead in 1975 she could not upload this picture. It is possible however that picture was uploaded by any family member who inherited the portrait and rights but it should be proven in a proper way. ~ Andrei Romanenko (talk) 01:08, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

- Second nomination
Since being uploaded a year ago, this image has been highly disruptive for the Commons community as a poster child for the entire "porn debate". Looking back at the previous deletion request, there was no significant consensus and the discussion was short, especially when compared to similar discussions over far less disruptive images. Everyone must know by now that I am personally committed to Commons including a full range of images to support the needs of sex education, so I am not raising this image for discussion out of distaste or as an anti-porn lobbyist. I firmly believe that this image has no realistic educational purpose that is not already addressed by better images and I honestly cannot imagine any educator or autodidact wanting to use this image for any other purpose other than titillation. Deletion of this image is not an excuse to start a sex image deletion frenzy, this particular image just sits well outside of our scope for Commons, remains incredibly disruptive and casts our entire Commons community as immature as we cannot even agree that this image is not about a toothbrush and perhaps, using a bit of common sense, having it at the top of searches for toothbrush might be a very bad thing indeed. ~ Fæ (talk) 08:14, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
- Keep - I would like to quote from the UDEL request:
- Image deleted without explanation, arguments for deletion were basically "out of scope, PORN". Now, I'm not arguing it's a great image, it's not, but it is one of I believe only two images we (had) of masturbation using implements which were neither vegetables nor purpose-made sex toys. This was a bad image, but people masturbate using toothbrushes sometimes - I know people who do. People sometimes do it because they don't have access to sex toys, or they just want a thrill of unintended use. Either way, this is something which happens, quite regularly, and which we now, without explanation, have no media depicting. -mattbuck (Talk) 23:15, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
- Support The only !votes in favour of deletion cited only COM:PORN which states "We may remove low-quality pornographic images that do not contribute anything educationally useful to our existing collection of images." Clearly, this image contributes something that our existing images do not. Some people (e.g. User:Bulwersator) seem to think that the idea of masturbating with a toothbrush is random and silly, but this is a relatively common practice - perhaps the most commonly used household object - and would be excellent for illustrating an educational discussion of makeshift devices for masturbation. Dcoetzee (talk) 23:31, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
- * Done as closing admin. Dcoetzee makes an entirely valid point that was wholly lacking in the actual DR. If he makes that comment 2 hours ago and on another page, this isn't a delete, so... Courcelles (talk) 23:49, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
- This is the argument why it should be kept, in respect to its content. Now, let me state why it should be kept in respect of drama, which frankly seems to be the main thrust of this DR. As many of you will know, I am all in favour of doing things which remove drama, mainly by giving the boot to the people who create it. The thing is, removing this will not reduce drama, the "think of the children" crowd will simply fixate upon a new image; and, let's face it, there are plenty to choose from. So where would deleting this leave us? Actually in a worse position, because we will
- Have got rid of an image which is educationally distinct from our other photos
- Have shown the "think of the children" crowd that their bullying tactics work, and this will only lead to the attacks upon our media being increased.
- We should not censor ourselves on the basis that it might make our lives easier, because it won't, it will just mean we have compromised our beliefs and actually put ourselves in a worse position. -mattbuck (Talk) 10:25, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
- Mattbuck, you probably have not actually read Censorship for a while, it says: The counterpoint to this, is that the statement "Commons is not censored" is not a valid argument for keeping a file that falls outside Commons' defined scope, as set out above. Photographs of nudity including male and female genitalia are sometimes uploaded for non-educational motives, and such images are not exempt from the requirement to comply with the rules of Commons' scope. If the images are of demonstrably inferior quality, or add nothing educationally distinct to the stock of such images we hold already, they may fail the test of being realistically useful for an educational purpose. So my nomination here is actually an argument to comply with our policy on not being censored and your comments about the unlikely value of this image actually support deletion. Frankly, scare tactics that this is the thin edge of the wedge, are themselves worn rather too thin when no dentistry educator can search for dental hygiene images without immediately wanting to never turn to Commons again as a source of material. I have found it impossible to even rename this image, deletion remains the best option. --Fæ (talk) 11:00, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for reformatting my quote, it looks much better now. Anyway, as I thought my argument stated, this image is educationally distinct. The image shows someone masturbating with a toothbrush, what else should it be named? -mattbuck (Talk) 11:36, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
- A new justification for deletion, offered above, says "...no dentistry educator can search for dental hygiene images without immediately wanting to never turn to Commons again as a source of material." An internal search for "toothbrush" here on commons finds about 100 images of toothbrushes -- the other 99 not having a connection to human sexuality. So, your theoretical dentistry educator would have shown such terrible judgment that I suggest we need to expend zero efforts catering to their peculiarities. In the nomination you went on record that the image should not be deleted "out of distaste", which I cannot reconcile with your suggestion above that we cater to the shock of your theoretical easily shocked dentisty educator.

If the images are of demonstrably inferior quality, or add nothing educationally distinct to the stock of such images we hold already, they may fail the test of being realistically useful for an educational purpose. So my nomination here is actually an argument to comply with our policy on not being censored and your comments about the unlikely value of this image actually support deletion. Frankly, scare tactics that this is the thin edge of the wedge, are themselves worn rather too thin when no dentistry educator can search for dental hygiene images without immediately wanting to never turn to Commons again as a source of material. I have found it impossible to even rename this image, deletion remains the best option. --Fæ (talk) 11:00, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
- Keep -- This nomination asserts that this image has been particularly disruptive over the years since the previous nomination -- the nomination calls the image a "poster child". However this assertion is not accompanied by a single diff of substantiation.
The nomination states "I honestly cannot imagine any educator or autodidact wanting to use this image for any other purpose other than titillation" -- I would like to say this in the nicest way possible, but why shouldn't we see this assertion as a confession of a personal failure of imagination? I accept that our nominator can't imagine a use of this image that is within scope. In turn I ask them to accept that other contributors can imagine in scope uses. Do removing pubic hair from one's organs of generation represent a health problem? This image shows organs shorn of pubic hair. Are the use of vibrating devices a safe sex technique? Maybe. Maybe not. I am not an expert but I suspect it is safe -- given certain qualifications. Maybe this image could usefully be captioned "if you are going to dental hygiene tools as sex toys you should put them in a condom to prevent the mixing of mouth and genital flora." I am not an expert, maybe the caption could say condoms aren't necessary. Either way I suggest this image is a potentially educational image. Geo Swan (talk) 02:14, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
- Geo Swan, I think one would have to have missed quite a lot of the porn debate over the last six months to not notice "toothbrush" and mentions of this image being used time and again as a key illustration of the argument that Commons has lost its way. Anyway, hardly the main point for deletion, only how damaging this is for us. I agree that others may be able to fantasize better than I, hard to prove anything else. Certainly I agree that bad sex as well as good sex images are useful in education. I would love us to have the early medical X-ray of a light-bulb lost inside a woman's body after it was used as a sex toy, that would be a good illustration of dildos to avoid. This image, no, it is really scraping the exemplar barrel to justify this poorly composed image as a reason why condoms are a good idea. Many other things are lacking in this image, like knickers, a grand piano and a stuffed Muppets toy; it does not illustrate them either. By the way, I would prefer to make the nomination and not reply to every opinion, but yours was directed at the nomination and so polite, it seemed impolite not to. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 07:33, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
- I am unaware that commons has "lost its way". Really, has it? Where should I go to read about that?
I went through my last six months contributions. I uploaded close to 3,000 images, and participated in about two dozen deletion discussions. The following comments are from the ten discussions of images related to human sexuality I participated in: [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]. There is no mention of a toothbrush controversy in any of those discussions.
So, should my opinion in this discussion be discounted because I participated in only ten discussions related to human sexuality over the last six months? May I suggest instead that policy based concerns about this image should be put forward in this discussion?
I wasn't planning to make any images intended to support sex education. But, if I do so I promise I'll give a level of consideration to the suggestion such images must include a muppet, a grand piano and knickers that matches the seriousness that suggestion merits.

- You might be confusing yourself by looking at diffs of your edits rather than the full discussions. Certainly Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Tasting_a_condom.jpg which you linked to in your own list includes this image as a key example to compare to, which rather seems to prove the point. --Fæ (talk) 17:22, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
- I acknowledge that in the discussions I participated in there was a single passing reference to this image. I'm sorry but I can't agree that this supports your assertion that the commons has "lost its way". If you meant to suggest my opinion should be discounted because I didn't participate in as many sexuality related discussions as you have. No offense but I continue to think those who assert this image has been posing a problem in other discussions have an obligation to actually articulate those problems here. It seems to me no one has done so yet. Geo Swan (talk) 00:20, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
- Okay, "lost its way" doesn't really mean much, I regret saying it. By the way, I do a lot of things on Commons, it is unfortunate that some think that I seek out sexual discussion when it is closer to the truth that I don't avoid them as a way of helping us get on with suitable cases that might improve policy one way or the other.

- Question I believe that the use of electric toothbrushes as a masturbatory aid is not uncommon. At least, a Google image search for "toothbrush masturbation" brings up many examples of both men and women masturbating with electric toothbrushes. On the other hand, an image search for "'tolling the bells' masturbation" brings up no images which appear related. The same search without the quotes brings up only a single image which would appear to be directly and it is from Commons. File:Masturbation Techniques - swinging cock (animated).gif is an animated gif showing the rear view of a man vigorously swinging his erect penis back and forth towards the viewer in an endless loop. Fæ, you voted to keep that particular image, even as you commented on the veracity of the description "tolling the bells" as a masturbation technique. If that image is "in scope", why is this image not "in scope"? Delicious carbuncle (talk) 18:29, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

- Says who? So what? In looking into this for this discussion I found this usage of electric toothbrushes is extremely common. One vibrator company even brought out a new model of vibrator inspired by the popularity of the use of a new model of electric toothbrush as a sex toy. That new model of electric toothbrush used a different technology providing vibrations that were at a significantly higher frequency than both competitor's toothbrushes, and by sex toys. So, whether dentists recommend this usage is irrelevant. The clear fact remains it is a popular usage. Geo Swan (talk) 13:51, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

- in scope?
Several contributors who favor deletion of this image have asserted, as if it was obvious, and required no explanation, that this image was out of scope as they could not imagine a possible edcuation use for it.
I suggested these assertions reflected a failure of imagination.
This image shows an unsafe sex practice and the use of this image to warn against this unsafe practice would unquestionably be an "educational use" and would unquestionably put the image in scope.
Sex toys should not be shared between different individuals -- unless they are sterilized between uses, or the users place a new condom over them between uses.
Similarly, when a single individual uses a sex toy in both the vagina and anus, vagina and mouth, or anus and mouth, they risk health problems. Our bodies are covered with flora -- bacteria and fungi and other organisms -- that don't cause disease, that are considered benign, due to their long adaptation to humans, and due to human long adaptation to them. Humans who get their usual flora wiped out face problems because our usual flora help prevent infection from unfriendly flora.
Similarly the flora that don't cause us problems when they are where they belong, in one orifice, can cause problems in another orifice.
In addition, some sexually transmitted infections are localized, to one part of our body, and won't be found in the infected individual's other orifices -- unless the infected individual unknowingly infects the other orifices by using a sex toy in multiple orifices.
For these reasons sex toys should not normally be used in both the vagina and anus, or vagina and mouth, or anus and mouth, of even a single individuals -- at least not without being sterilized between uses or not without being shrouded with a condom.
I prepared two derivative images of this image File:Masturbating with a toothbrush -b.jpg and File:Masturbating with a toothbrush -c.jpg. Over on Talk:Safe sex I requested opinions as to whether those maintaining that article felt one of these three images was appropriate to illustrate the problem of unsafe use of sex toys.
This image is superior to images of other sex toys, for illustrating this problem, as a toothbrush's primary purpose is oral hygiene. Use of a toothbrush for clitoral or vaginal stimulation, without a condom, is not a safe sex practice, as it is likely the toothbrush is also being used for routine oral hygiene. Geo Swan (talk) 17:04, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
- The phrase we probably disagree on in scope is the interpretation of "realistically useful". If you could point to somewhere where over the last 12 months this image has been used for a positive educational purpose as opposed to just internal disputes, this would be helpful. By the way, en:Talk:Safe_sex has been inactive for more than 12 months, so probably not the best place to promote the use of this image
to by-pass this deletion request. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 17:32, 27 April 2012 (UTC)- With regard to "realistically useful" -- you went on record that your concerns are not based on an anti-sexuality agenda. You wrote "I am not raising this image for discussion out of distaste or as an anti-porn lobbyist." So, if I understand you, if the image is genuinely in use then all your initial concerns would have been addressed, correct?
- Yes, I'm in support of media with a realistic sex education purpose. If you can show that here, then I have no problem. --Fæ (talk) 22:44, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
- Your reference to the last 12 months confuses me. Why the last 12 months? FWIW, I thought I had already established an educational use of this image.
- 12 months is how long it has been resting here. You certainly established your imagination, not quite the same thing as finding a realistic educational use. --Fæ (talk) 22:44, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
- With regard to "by-pass[ing] this deletion request" -- I honestly believe the image is in scope because I honestly believe it should be used to explain why the technique it displays in an unsafe practice to avoid. I thought suggesting, here, the use of this image, or a derivative image, belonged in the Safe sex article was a completely legitimate thing for me to do, to address your stated "out of scope" concern. I also thought seeking input on Talk:Safe sex about the use of this image, or a derivative image, on Safe sex was a completely legitimate thing for me to do. Perhaps I am mistaken, and there is some policy or convention I am unaware of, or I am overlooking? Please, if you think that is the case, can you help me out by directing that policy or convention to my attention? Geo Swan (talk) 22:20, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
- I just pointed out how inactive that article was, though I admit, squeezing the image into use on a Wikipedia article talk page seems a bit thin as evidence of use and could easily be confused by others as an attempt to by-pass this discussion. Struck my wording on this above as it did appear as an unfair allegation. If only Wikipedia had an article related to the educational topic of masturbation and toothbrushes, that would be a real win all round. --Fæ (talk) 22:44, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
- Fæ, the question regarding scope in the section above is directed at you, if that wasn't clear. An answer would be appreciated. Thanks. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 23:11, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

- Keep Here we go again. This is precisely the sort of image that gets argued about by editors of sex education articles. That's not disruptive, that's what it's there for. We are supposed to provide a range of illustrative material for editors so they can make choices. Various projects may make different decisions about what is appropriate, it's not for us to preempt them by removing material. My personal preference in these debates is usually for drawings and artwork, but these seem particular targets of the we're-not-censors-it's-out-of-scope brigade. And it seems if an image doesn't get deleted one time it can be re-nominated until it does. --Simonxag (talk) 09:15, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
In determining whether to keep or delete an image, we need to take into account those policies which control our content. We can appreciate the sentiment, and reasoning, behind Fae's nomination of this image, and the opinions of those participating in this discussion. Moreso because, as stated, it has caused some controversy in the English Wikipedia community, and by extension here on Commons.
After reading the arguments presented, as admins we need to weigh the strength of those arguments and put them in context of our content policies and guidelines.In relation to this DR, the relevant policies and guidelines are COM:SCOPE and COM:NUDITY
In relation to our nudity guidelines, this image is unique enough in that it is one of few images showing female masturbation without the use of sex toys or vegetables. Put in the context of our project scope, the arguments presented in favour of keeping the image outweigh the arguments of those favouring deletion. The keep arguments, such as that presented by Geo Swan, give potential scope for this images' use on our various projects; whilst the deletion arguments do not give convincing arguments for the images deletion based upon our scope policy.
On this basis, we are keeping the initially nominated image, and deleting the 3 derivative works.
In further comment, it has been mentioned in this discussion that the nominated image is the "poster child" of what is wrong with Commons. We agree that there is a problem when a search for toothbrush on Commons returns this image on top of the results. If one peruses the various threads on Jimmy Wales' English Wikipedia talk page, you will see that the common theme is that search results of this type are an indication of Commons being broken, often with individual members of the Commons community being singled out as the problem itself. This is an unfair assault on our individual editors and Commons as a collective, for we are only as good as the infrastructure we are provided with.
To this end, we encourage members of all projects to lobby the WMF to make changes so that search problems such as this can be rectified in the future. We also urge the WMF to engage proactively with the community on these issues, and consider solutions such as Commons:Requests_for_comment/improving_search#A_little_bit_of_intelligence.

- Comment: Symbian^3/Anna/Belle are governed by en:Eclipse Public License, and then since 31.03.2011 by Nokia Symbian License 1.0. Portion of the license:
- Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Nokia hereby grants to You a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, irrevocable (except as set forth in Clause 7.1 and 7.2 below), royalty-free and worldwide license under Copyrights licensable by Nokia to: i) reproduce and modify Source Code Components; ii) reproduce Binary Components and Documentation; iii) use and reproduce Utility Software, and iv) publicly display, distribute and make available (a) the Source Code Components to third parties that have acquired a valid source code license from Nokia; and (b) Utility Software, Binary Components and Source Code Components in binary form to third parties, (c) Documentation in unmodified form in all cases i)-iv) solely as part of the Symbian Platform or for use with the Symbian Platform, under the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
- So as I understand it, it's basically an open source license (ok, I am not a lawyer), but not a free software license, and the en:Symbian article infobox lists the OS as proprietary (which the previous versions, still maintained, AFAIK, most likely are). Older deletions of files showing Anna and Belle have contended that the Symbian OS UI is "copyrighted by Nokia and others," and a "derivative of non-free content" (redlinks lead to file deletion notes). -Mardus (talk) 07:46, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

- Keep. Going back into the deleted revisions of en:File:McMoab.JPG, it was uploaded and multi-licensed as {{self2|GFDL|cc-by-sa-2.5,2.0,1.0}} by en:User:Mckroes. I have no reason to think that it isn't the photographer's en.wiki account, because there is a link on their userpage to the photographer's Flickr account, also named Mckroes. Therefore it would appear that the photographer did in fact license the photo freely, and as free licenses are irrevocable, they can't go back and rescind a past permission. Certainly, they can stop offering the image freely going forward, but they can't withdraw permission for past free licensings. SchuminWeb (Talk) 01:56, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

The image was developed by me. But really, the logo of the program is, after all would be pointless to create a cover with another logo that is not the program. The GNU license allows this type of use / reuse, and the CC. The example of this, we can mention the wide variety of icons (images) that contains logo brands and products, which in entato were developed by third parties and still are licensed as GPL, LGPL, and CC.

In addition, brand logo, should rightfully be associated with its developer and content. So, I might mention microsoft, and use your logo, since its use estivese tied to its end. As an example we can cite the e-commerces, using logos, trademarks and images (without a license), but the laws do not hurt, because these brand images are developed for this purpose of disclosure and identification. We can of course distort, alter, or use it differently than intended purpose by the company.
>>>The logo presented >> in this image is not patented or registered, note the absence of common tags Copyrigut (C), and Registered (R) and others directly on the site owner, and compare with the images of microsoft, apple, IBM, ASUS, which are always followed by their tags.
- Original Language (PT-BR)
A Imagem foi desenvolvida por mim. Mas realmente, o logotipo é do programa, afinal seria inútil criar uma capa com outro logotipo que não o do programa. A licença GNU permite este tipo de utilização/reutilização, bem como a CC. A exemplo disto, podemos citar a grande variedade de ícones (imagens) que contem logotipo de marcas e produtos, que no entato foram desenvolvidos por terceiros e ainda assim são licenciados como GPL, LGPL, e CC. Ex:
- http://icongal.com/gallery/icon/32398/128/pdf_file_adobe.
- http://icongal.com/gallery/icon/96235/128/adobe_photoshop
Além disso, logotipo de marca, devem por direito estar associados ao seu desenvolvedor e conteúdo. Assim, eu poderia mencionar a microsoft, e utilizar seu logo, desde que sua utilização estivese atrelado ao seu fim. Como exemplo podemos citar os e-commerces, que utilizam logotipos, marcas e imagens (sem obtenção de licença), mas não ferem a legislação, pois estas imagens de marcas são desenvolvidas para este fim de divulgação e identificação. Não podemos é claro deturpar, alterar, ou utilizar-lo de maneira diferente do fim previsto pela empresa.
>>> O Logotipo apresentado nesta imagem não é patenteado ou registrado, observe pela ausencia das tags comuns de Copyrigut (C), e Registrado (R) e outros, diretamente no site do proprietário, e compare com as imagens da microsoft, da apple, da IBM, da ASUS, que sempre são seguidas das respectivas tags.
