relations works and have the best interests of Wikipedia at heart? And
have common sense?
I've said already that I think this is something only the Board can
decide. Either we stay the way we are--and no amount of filtering and
whatnot will disguise the fact that the operation of our existing content
policy fails to censor content in a manner which would make the whole of
Wikipedia acceptable to the general public--or the Board imposes content
restrictions.
I don't mind which is chosen--as David has suggested, any radical change
in policy would risk a fork--but playing games with image filtering is
like rearranging the deck-chairs on the Titanic. Trying to appease the
likes of Bill O'Reilly (assuming he would oppose rather than welcome
Wikipedia's openness--which is a big assumption) is pointless.
Only the Board can make decisions of this kind. The membership can't even
raise a consensus to link the autofellatio guy or to delete an article
describing a potentially lethal form of sexual assault as a "sex move."
