unused personal photo, no educational value, out of scope Mjrmtg (talk) 22:47, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

How is it bullying? Sorry I didn't see that it was already in use and that a duplicate was uploaded. --Mjrmtg (talk) 21:36, 7 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It is bullying to intimidate a new user like this. Although most probably nothing good will come from here (her professor had the class join Wikipedia to experience collaborative tech writing, whoopderdoo!), this is not the case of an obvious troll or someone using Commons as a hosting service — therefore she deserves better than terse boilerplate talk (not to mention some extra attention about usege and other uploads).
The photo is bad, I agree, bad lighting ruins the composition — but the DR as worded can be misconstrued to the effect that any personal photo is off Common’s scope, which is patently fasle.

Whatever! You're right. I didn't translate her user page and read that it was part of a project. In the end, there are way too many personal photos being uploaded by users finding the Wikimedia Commons app on mobile devices by users thinking they are cute, posting photos that belong on Facebook or Instagram. --Mjrmtg (talk) 10:42, 8 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
While I agree with the sentiment, the only useful way to fix this problem is to reduce the exaggerated proeminence given to the mobile uploads gadget in the mobile versions of Commons and several Wikipedias (i.a., taking down imbecile things like «This article lacks a photo — shoot one and upload it right now!»). For that, the foundation is the target to be addressed; lashing at individual uploads is petty and inffective.
Secondly, what the heck are “personal” photos, and why do you hate them? Most photos we curate and cherish are “personal”, i.e., shot by a person. Moreover, even considering a wider meaning of the word "personal", — again most of our valuable media was created and uploaded, and is being curated, within a framework of purely personal interest, as opposed to professional or any other “unpersonal” attachment. Can we stop calling something personal when we want to disparage items simply deemed frivolous and off-topic?
