Our mission

Our mission is to create the world's most comprehensive and detailed database on spanking art. The vision is a wiki that features an article on practically every spanking artist, comic, author, video producer, actor, movie and website.

We will also work as taxonomists, defining and explaining spanking and art related tesrms. So this wiki will not only be a knowledge database but also an encyclopedia on spanking art that helps artists and fans to use a common language.

All this is done in the spirit of Free Knowledge.

Why a separate wiki?

While spanking art is a topic too specialized to be relevant for the general purpose encyclopedia Wikipedia, the same software (MediaWiki) allows us to work here on a spanking art encyclopedia. The more it grows, the more useful it will be for people who have a hobby interest in spanking art. So have fun, enjoy and please share your knowledge here!

What we don't want here

For legal reasons, this wiki must not contain any obscenity or copyright infringements. Please see Legal terms and our Image use policy for a detailed discussion on permissible content.

We also don't want advertisement and POV (point of view) texts there. You are encouraged to add an article about any commercial or non-commercial spanking or spanking art related website, blog, forum, group, mailing list, magazine, book, etc. - just remember what you're writing should be factual, not in advertisement style. Please also note our Nonviolence policy.

-'''Spanking artists''' are people who specialize in producing spanking art.
+== Our mission ==
+Our mission is to create the world's most comprehensive and detailed database on spanking art. The vision is a wiki that features an article on practically every spanking artist, comic, author, video producer, actor, movie and website.
-'''Spanking art''' is a term used to collectively describe artwork that depicts or includes [[spanking]] scenes.
+We will also work as taxonomists, defining and explaining spanking and art related tesrms. So this wiki will not only be a knowledge database but also an encyclopedia on spanking art that helps artists and fans to use a common language.
-Since ''art'' includes many different forms of expression, ''spanking art'' also covers a great variety of media. Among the most common are literature, all kinds of visual art (drawings, paintings and photographs), and movies. In all of these media, you will find two groups of works:
+All this is done in the spirit of [[Free Knowledge]].
-* Non-erotic works from mainstream art featuring spanking scenes
-*[[Erotic]] works created for a [[spankophile]] or [[BDSM]] audience
-Erotic art depicting flagellation dates back to the pornographic fresco paintings of ancient Rome, particularly Pompeii. But the first mass-produced corporal punishment erotica began with the illustrated flagellation and spanking novels that flooded the underground book market in Europe and America in the late 19th Century (see: Victorian era).
+== Why a separate wiki? ==
-Spanking art can be considered a genre of its own as it has a great worldwide fan community. There already exist hundreds of web galleries and online story archives (created by fans, usually) that are exclusively devoted to spanking art. Commercially, spanking magazines, videos, photos and stories are the best selling of all spanking art media.
+While spanking art is a topic too specialized to be relevant for the general purpose encyclopedia [[Wikipedia]], the same software ([[MediaWiki]]) allows us to work here on a spanking art encyclopedia. The more it grows, the more useful it will be for people who have a hobby interest in spanking art. So have fun, enjoy and please share your knowledge here!
-In addition, a growing number of professional and hobby [[artist]]s specialize in this genre. The nature of this interest is manifold. Some people find spanking art erotic, others are simply attracted to the unusual topic or appreciate the intensity of emotions that can be expressed with this subject matter.
+== What we don't want here ==
-== Categories and sub-genres ==
+For legal reasons, this wiki must not contain any obscenity or copyright infringements. Please see Legal terms and our Image use policy for a detailed discussion on permissible content.
-One simple approach to categorize spanking art is by the [[gender]] of the [[spankee]].  Thus you can come up with categories such as girl spanking art and boy spanking art, or female spanking art and male spanking art to include adult spankees.
+We also don't want advertisement and POV (point of view) texts there. You are encouraged to add an article about any commercial or non-commercial spanking or spanking art related website, blog, forum, group, mailing list, magazine, book, etc. - just remember what you're writing should be factual, not in advertisement style. Please also note our Nonviolence policy.
-Another way of categorizing spanking art is by the age of the spankee; you can distinguish, for example, child spanking art from adult spanking art. A combined approach which also includes the spanker is described on pairings.

-The reason for all this categorizing is that most fans prefer only (or mostly) either male or female spankees, while only a minority likes to see or read about spankees of both genders. To a lesser degree, there may also be a preference for male or female spankers. This kind of preference is also found in artists and authors. Similarly, some people prefer child spanking art while others prefer adult spanking art. You can clearly see this gender and age preference on web galleries and when looking at collections of works of particular artists. Our polls Favourite pairing poll 2007 and Favourite pairing poll 2009 shed some light on which are the best liked pairings among those who voted.

-On the Spanking Art wiki, historic spanking art is defined as spanking art that is older than 100 years, while contemporary spanking art is spanking art that was created within the last 100 years.
-== Spanking art and pornography ==
-Spanking art by itself is generally not [[pornography|pornographic]] as it depicts a method of [[corporal punishment]] and no erotic subject such as [[sexual intercourse]], [[masturbation]] or the lascivious presentation of [[genital]]s.
-Still, it is possible to combine spanking art and pornography, e.g. in artistic renderings and photographic/film reproductions of [[erotic spanking]]. For this reason, our image use policy states that pornographic (defined as [[obscenity|obscene]]) images must not be uploaded to this site.
