Lead photo

Associated TAs are repeatedly removing this image File:Three Girls Surfers Paradise in bikinis.jpg, claiming that it is inappropriate as they are underage. We don't know how old they are, and for that matter, what do their ages have to do with it? I doubt very much that Australia has any law that prevents underaged females from wearing bikinis or being photographed. It's not a sexual photo. It's simply females wearing bikinis. Anyone want to make a case for removing it? Meters (talk) 22:04, 8 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

Replace it with women I don’t understand why we have young girls as the lead image. Or an image of a bikini on a mannequin. Why do we need to have images of young girls? ~2026-43279-65 (talk) 22:16, 8 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

This photo is good illustration of the subject, absolutely nothing wrong with it. Is girls in bikinis is something wrong, why them ever allowed to wear bikinis? Evelino Ucelo (talk) 11:12, 9 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

Exploiting GIRLS

Multiple images on this post that has underage girls in bathing suits. I have updated images with better descriptions or with actual women who look over the age of 30 and it keeps getting removed and being put back on high school girls.

It is completely OK for underage girls to wear bikinis (although girls on the photo not looks underage for me). So for me personally, Your actions is DISGUSTING, sorry. Evelino Ucelo (talk) 11:06, 9 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

Pending changes

I think that enabling of the pending changes protection would help to catch vandalism. @Meters: what You think? Evelino Ucelo (talk) 11:13, 11 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

Let's see what happens now that the TA's edit warring block is over. And it's arguably not vandalism, just edit warring over a desire to censor certain images. Meters (talk) 21:36, 11 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
