So, no maps showing that Kashmir is not entirely and undisputedly part
of India. No pictures of women with uncovered faces. No criticism of
Kim Jong-Il. No mention that Arab countries call it the Arabian Gulf,
or that most other countries call it the Persian Gulf.
There's a whole lot that we couldn't include in Wikipedia if we were
to respect all the relevant laws of countries where Wikipedia is
accessible.
