           Summary: Nazi flag, need to tag and filter it appropriately
           Product: openclipart.org
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: clipart

        ReportedBy: horkana at maths.tcd.ie


The issue of the Nazi flag came up on the mailing list
http://lists.freedesktop.org/pipermail/clipart/2005-August/003807.html

We do not wish to remove it.  At least that seems to be the general consensous.  

I propose removing the Germany keyword for now until we have better ways to
weight the value of the different keywords and directly associating Nazism only
with Germany is an unfortunate over simplification (although it does make sense
as Germany was the country most closely associated with the flag).  

I suggested this on the mailing list and I am filing this bug to make sure the
issue is not forgotten.  
http://lists.freedesktop.org/pipermail/clipart/2005-August/003838.html

Should I download, edit and resubmit the Nazi flag without the germany keyword?

The issue of making it easy for French and German distributors of our collection
to exclude this file should they choose to do so probably also needs to be
addressed further.
