[edit] Prurient interest

Yeah, I know. To say the pictures on this page appeal to "prurient interest" makes me sound like some kind of wannabe 21st century Comstockian-- but think about it. This is a minor entertainment biz figure, and her tiny article is stuffed with three pictures? Pick one, boys, before I do. JDG 13:23, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

She donated all three. Encouraging donations of free content helps the wikimedia mission of promoting free content. She is a model. These images illustrate that. But I get your point. My point is I want visitors to this page to know these free content images exist. So perhaps the solution is to make some or all of the images smaller. Why don't you try your hand at reducing some or all of the image sizes and see if you can come up with a solution? WAS 4.250 13:57, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

I reduced all three in size. WAS 4.250 14:06, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Thank you, WAS 4. This seems more in line with the project. I don't mean to put anyone down, but, you know, moralists are people too. JDG 11:38, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] sexualized pictures?

does anyone else think that her pictures here are too sexualized. i think we need more general pics (maybe from imdb) for an encyclopedia. - unsigned

These are pictures she herself has provided with a copy-left license. WAS 4.250 21:01, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Yes, WAS is right. Had Merkin provided us with less sexualized images, they would have been used instead. -- Zanimum 15:37, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Don't ask me how I got here, but I think "unsigned" has a point. Two virtually identical images is a bit too overdone for my taste, if there were to be two images in this article, a more general pic would be more appropriate. The generosity of Ms. Merkin is imho not an argument to post two "sexualized" pictures of her on an altogether quite short article. Things being as they may, there aren't any other free pictures, so one has to do for the moment. Niels(F)^{? en |} ^nl 01:28, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
