Retrieved 16 February 2026. Pelastakaa Lapset-järjestö haluaa, että rock-yhtye Scorpionsin vanhan musiikkialbumin kansikuva poistetaan suomenkielisestä Wikipediasta. […] Poistopyyntö koskee Scorpionsin vuonna 1976 julkaiseman Virgin Killer -albumin alkuperäistä kansikuvaa, joka on näkyvillä albumia käsittelevässä Wikipedia-artikkelissa. […] Järjestön Wikipedialle lähettämän poistokehotteen mukaan kansikuva "seksualisoi lasta ja sitä voidaan pitää lapsia seksuaalisesti hyväksikäyttävänä materiaalina". Vaatimus koskee erityisesti suomenkielistä Wikipediaa, mutta pyynnön mukaan myös englanninkielisen Wikipedian samaa kantta esittävä kuva "pitäisi ehkä myös poistaa verkosta". […] Järjestön viestinnästä kerrotaan Ylelle sähköpostitse, että poistokehotuksen taustalla on sen Nettivihje-palveluun tullut yleisövihje. [Save the Children Finland wants the rock band Scorpions' old music album's cover image removed from the Finnish Wikipedia. […] The removal request concerns Scorpions' 1976 album Virgin Killer's original cover image, displayed in the album's Wikipedia article. […] According to the memo urging removal the organization sent to Wikipedia, the cover image "sexualises the child and this image can be seen as child sexual exploitation material". The demand is directed at the Finnish Wikipedia in particular, but adds "maybe it should also be removed from the web" regarding the English Wikipedia article's image. […] The organization informs Yle by email that the memo urging removal is based on a tip from the public to its Nettivihje service.]

Retrieved 16 March 2026. Rock-yhtye Scorpionsin 50 vuoden takaisen Virgin Killer -levyn kansikuva saa jäädä suomenkieliseen Wikipediaan. Yle uutisoi helmikuussa Pelastakaa Lapset -järjestön lähettämästä kirjeestä, jossa kehotettiin suomenkielistä Wikipediaa poistamaan albumin alkuperäinen kansikuva tietosanakirjasta. […] Poistokehotusta seuranneessa vilkkaassa keskustelussa enemmistö vapaaehtoisista katsoi, ettei vaatimukseen pidä suostua. [The cover image of the rock band Scorpions' album Virgin Killer from 50 years ago will be allowed to remain in the Finnish Wikipedia. Yle reported in February on a memo issued by Save the Children Finland urging the Finnish Wikipedia to remove the album's original cover image from the encyclopedia. […] In a lively discussion following the request, a plurality of volunteers took the view that the demand should not be met.]
