Sorry, I'm just uncomftorble with nudity in Wikipedia
in general, although drawings are okay.

My view is that the Wikipedia should not contain
pornography, but nudity
is okay. Some people may not be cool with the idea
of looking at nudity,
but they have just as much right to not "Click
here
to see image
containing nudity" as they do to avoid other
places
where they'd see
nudity (Playboy, porno sites, etc.) Nudity is okay
because it describes
how things really do look. Drawings should not be
considered watered
down photos. They're good at showing some details
that may not be
apparent in photographs. Photographs on the other
hand, show reality. I
think both are perfectly acceptable. Understanding
that certain people
are sensitive to seeing nudity, we should mask it
behind a link. But we
are not making an encyclopedia specifically for
grade schools, and we
are not making an encyclopedia for people who turn
red at the site of
genitalia. Individuals need to exercise control of
their viewing habits,
and schools and parents need to be aware of what
children are surfing
to. That's just not our job.
Agreed ++.
Should make the warning more obvious though. Bold or
something equivalent.
