<DIV><FONT color=#000033 face=Arial size=2>Regarding the article about the prison, and its pictures of torture practices, humiliation of human beings and dead bodies, I think everyone agree that these are important and should be in the encyclopedia.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000033 face=Arial size=2>The following propositions have been made</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000033 face=Arial size=2>* keep all pictures in the article (ie, considering information should prime over feelings)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000033 face=Arial size=2> --> I think this does not take into consideration the opinion of those feeling these pictures are offending.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000033 face=Arial size=2>* have two articles, one with pictures, one without</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000033 face=Arial size=2> --> Interesting, but perhaps unpractical from an editing point of view (doable with mediawiki, but without neat display of pictures within the article) </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000033 face=Arial size=2>* have offending pictures visible only per a link, individually</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000033 face=Arial size=2> --> Already practiced for other offending pictures. Good choice, but perhaps unpractical for the reader, as there are several pictures, and the reader has to click on each picture one after the other</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000033 face=Arial size=2>* keep perhaps one picture in the article (least offensive), and offer a gallery of pictures (with a warning for readers aside from the link)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000033 face=Arial size=2> -> I think this is a good idea. Many newspapers do that. I remember Le Monde did that a lot for all the covering of the war. Plus, it offers the benefit to lighten the weight of the article page.</FONT></DIV></DIV><p>
