[edit] Lead image

The image there is a bit much. I know not censored and all, but it was huge and confrontational, and we attempt to make Wikipedia as accessable as possible. - brenneman ^{L} 07:34, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

As it says: some articles may include objectionable text, images, or links if they are relevant to the content (such as the article about pornography).

The images used in this article are all fair use (they have been tagged and sourced appropriately) and are indeed relevant to the text content. I have edited some of the "non-encyclopedic" text as per your suggestions (I agree that some of the text was too subjective and overwritten).

In my editorial opinion the lead image is appropriate to the nature of the article and it provides a useful and necessary visual accompaniment to the text description. However, I have reduced the size of the lead image to make it appear a bit less "confrontational".

I have also embedded six citations linking to verifiable web sources in the text of this article.

I agree with brenneman on the pictures. As per Wikipedia:WikiProject_Porn_stars#Structure, "images should not be explicit in nature". Unless and until it can be shown that the article cannot be served with a non-nude image, I'm pulling the image out. Tabercil 20:41, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

OK, I've changed the lead image to something less explicit. I think the still image in the article is necessary to illustrate relevant descriptive passages in the body of the article without being explicit. I also agree with the abridgement of the Selected Filmography. Hopefully we have reached a reasonable editorial compromise that leaves everybody happy with this article.

Better. The lead image is still a bit risqué and over the top in my opinion, but at least there's no glaring nudity present. Ideally, I'd prefer a safe non-nude image similar to the ones used to illustrate Tera Patrick, Calli Cox or Ginger Lynn. As for the still, I'm going to reserve judgment on that for now. Tabercil 22:39, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Good. I think you were probably right in your suggestions and it is a much better article now, both in terms of pictures and text. User:Jaiwills 21:11, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Xtreme monique ponygirl.jpg

I've removed the image from the article because as it is currently used it does not meed WP:FU. From the Counterexamples section of the fair use article:

8. An image of a living person that merely shows what they look like.

IMO, the image can be used later on the article where it is a useful illustration of the "Erotic persona and style" section, but not in the infobox. Tabercil 20:21, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
