I propose to delete the original image version (15:24, 22. Aug. 2006) in order to effectively protect the privacy of the child, whereas the later retouched version that is currently shown would remain. Túrelio (talk) 09:12, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'm not sure hiding this baby's penis was necessary in the first place. I mean... it's just a baby, and the image is nearly 3 years old. Besides, the subject being a minor, it's up to the parents to make decisions about his privacy, and it seems to me that the image was posted by his father, so I don't see a problem. --Tryphon (talk) 10:12, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, a child doesn't strictly belong to his parents, it has a dignity and right to privacy by itself. In this case it is even identified by name (IMHO, this indicates some carelessness on behalf of the uploader, though eventually he did it to prevent RFDs). In addition, the image is intended to show Varicela symptoms, not a baby's genitals; so there is simply no need to show this image variant.--Túrelio (talk) 10:18, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
My reasoning is that it is a case where we would need a model release, because it is a private setting; since we can obviously not get a release from the baby, we would have to ask the parents, and the fact that they uploaded the image is de facto a release. So I agree it's not essential to include the baby's genitals, but I find it overkill to try and hide it. ----Tryphon (talk) 10:34, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi ! I've retouched the original version according to an old discussion. Tryphon you should see rules about naked pictures on wikipedia, you'll see that a lot of picture were posted with another purpose than (for example here) varicela or other subjects... So wikipedia or wikimedia must protect all his site. I didn't know the original picture were still here... Good job Turelio ! Hope original picture will be definitely removed from wikimedia.--Patricia.fidi (talk) 15:59, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
