This is preemptive, sort of.

There’s been an ongoing edit war going on over the captions of the picture which is a spillover from the page for Guy Standing which features a picture of Standing sitting since there are no pictures of Guy Standing standing. The obvious joke was made almost immediately, which was reverted almost immediately. Normally this is where things would have stayed, but the joke about Guy sitting became a sort of political issue as I described in this post. Wikipedia has been trying to be more serious for a while now, and stuff similar to the Cetaceon Needed joke is not being allowed to stay even though they don’t violate the rules of the site.

When the Guy Standing caption was fully lost ground due to ruling by the admin team, the edit/reversion war moved to the page for Sir Guy Standing, starting with a picture of Sir Standing sitting in center-frame with his daughter behind him (necessitating the clarification that Standing is sitting). This picture makes the clarification less relevant and is therefore more vulnerable to being relabeled as Standing (left).

I would have not learned about Prof. Standing’s theory on the precariat class if it wasn’t for this joke. I also would not have learned about Sir Standing’s film career if it wasn’t for this joke. Removing the frankly nondisruptive jokes about how Standing is sitting, in the opinion of myself and many others, harms the educational mission of Wikipedia.
