SHORT DESCRIPTION

Tangentially, why is {{WTFPL}} even a template? While I myself have no problem with "Permission is granted to do what the fuck you want to with this document under the terms of the WTF Public License, Version 2." (and take it very lightheartedly), Commons is a multilingual wiki and not everyone (especially non-native English speakers) will perceive it that way. --SHB2000 (talk) 09:15, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The reason why I asked Wilfredor to remove it was simply because I think we owe it to readers and the people re-using our photos to be met with a civilized tone when they view our best pictures. The bitter aftermath from recent licensing discussions should not spill over to the more "official" part of Commons. Imagine an 8 year-old looking for a picture of an old Canadian house for their school project and be met with that wording. Personally and IRL, I swear a lot, in several languages (you should hear me in Spanish!), but there is a time and place for everything. This is not about how much crude language we editors are comfortable with, but how we present Commons to the rest of the world. I think we could add FPs to the quote. ;-) Regarding the template, since there is an article about it, I guess someone thought it was a good joke to create the template. Templates can be used for so many things, not just for Commons official things. There are plenty of personal and other minor templates. --Cart (talk) 10:09, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I casually swear a lot in English IRL (sometimes even on-wiki when appropriate), but agreed that this is not the place for it. --SHB2000 (talk) 12:13, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
FWIW the WTFPL license is used on about 6200 files here. Since "whatever the fuck" probably isn't easy to translate, I suspect we should not support it, but that's a separate conversation. It's basically CC0 as far as I can tell. — Rhododendrites talk |  13:32, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Is this just an ordinary house? I think it's a good picture anyway, and I think a well-lit, well-composed photo of an ordinary house ought to be a possible subject for an FP. Cmao20 (talk) 01:25, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Atmospheric and well composed photo of an old but working house. You could argue about the two cropped chairs (that actually mirrors each other), but testing cropping them out makes it looks like a museum. Now you get the sense that this interior continues throughout the house. I'm glad to see that you brought your skill for photographing inside houses with you, all the way from Venezuela to Canada. --Cart (talk) 14:30, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    This house brings back good memories for me. It's located in a secluded area of a rural zone on the island of Orleans, Quebec. A picturesque place surrounded by gardens of vegetables and fruits around the house, and close by, a stable with goats, egg-laying hens, and further away, a wheat plantation with a beautiful old barn that, in the afternoon light, seemed as if the roof was honey-colored. Nearby, a small stream flows. My wife and I went to this place to spend much of her pregnancy there, which brought her peace and tranquility, although soon after came the most difficult event of my life: the loss of our baby at 4 months of gestation, which among other things ended our years-long relationship. I mention all this because I took a photo in front of that house where she was sitting in an old rocking chair, holding her belly with a smile and her eyes closed—probably the most beautiful featured image I ever took, but I had to delete it because keeping it would be torture. Moreover, she and I are no longer together. I know this has nothing to do with this photo but I wanted to provide some context. Behind every photo, there's an additional story. I don't care if this photo is featured or not, this is not a chatgpt speech to manipulate anything. Wilfredor (talk) 18:05, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We understand. No ChatGPT could sound so sad. Sometimes you just need to say things to lighten the burden of carrying it. --Cart (talk) 23:12, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
