File talk:A German prostitute's self-portrait in a brothel.jpg
I would have tagged this picture {{Unreferenced}} in Wikipedia--and did, in fact--but it was deleted and moved here without any attempt to resolve the concerns about the lack of references. There is growing concern on Wikipedia that images don't show exactly what they claim to. Images which are unverifiable, like this one, go against the verifiability requirements of Wikipedia. This image provides no reference that lets us verify that the girl shown in the picture is a prostitute; for all we know, the picture may have been placed by someone seeking revenge on the subject. Further, we don't have a model release -- so we have no idea if the subject wished their picture be taken and used in this manner. We also do know the age of the subject, and what that might mean for the image given the contexts in which it is used.
If {{No source since}} is the wrong template to use to flag these problems, I hope someone can point me to the correct template. {{Unreferenced}} is depricated here, and links to the {{No source since}} template. -- Mikeblas 13:57, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
- Source is given (German Wikipedia). And the Uploader is to be seen at the picture. Sha can do with the pics what she want, they are her own! Marcus Cyron 17:42, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
I agree:

We do know the uploader, we do know the photographer and the fact that the photographer/uploader is a highly respected member of wikimedia germany should be proof enough, that there is nothing illegal behind it. The only thing we cant prove is, that it doesnt show prostitution perse but what do you expect here? A girl with a carboard "Suck for a Buck"?

Is it wise to keep the photo here?[edit]
I used to be one of her regular customers, but it was probably decades ago. She's no longer in the business and I am not sure it is wise to keep the photo on Wikipedia pages. 71.31.30.66 03:45, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
- "Wise" seems a value judgement, but it is appropriate, because it is (1) Free licensed by the author (2) In use in multiple Wikimedia projects. Were the person shown/photographer to raise concerns, such should be considered, but I see no reason that an anon former "customer"'s thoughts above have relevance to the photo being on Wikimedia.
