It's people :) Sometimes a Wikia staff member, and sometimes people who are specifically working on screening images.  This is a new effort, and we have a lot of wikis (about 300,000) and images (literally millions) to cover, so we can't go to each to discuss it in detail with each wiki.  Practically, we've had to watch for wikis with specific issues as we've gone along, and then contact them after the fact to help make things clearer.

I agree breasts are a grey area, and we are trying to find the right balance. We're accepting very clearly "artistic nudity" in most cases (those Greek statues you mention) but exposed nipples on anime-style art are beyond the area we feel is "unoffensive". Bars covering the breasts (or at least, as much of the breasts as would be covered by underwear) should be fine, but individual nipple covers just start to look like nipples... and so are unlikely to pass, especially if small. The pixelation you tried is also borderline, but may be accepted.

One thing I would say is that this is an ongoing process, we've got a way to go still. So if you see worse images on other wikis, it's likely because we haven't reached them yet, not that we are singling out this one. And if you have an image that you feel has been judged too harshly, then you are welcome to contact us for a second review. Bare breasts are not going to get through, but if someone is being too harsh in their assessments, we're happy to give images a second look.
