No, your question is a subset of the greater question I answered: Can NPOV and Censorship abide in the same body of work?
OK so the bigger issue is: Requiring some images to be a link IS in itself incompatible with NPOV?
I disagree - having different levels of availability but having all information available is NPOV in fact it shows respect to those cultures and is a better NPOV because wikipedia isn't pushing the "everyone should see everything" POV.
Why is the compromise, i.e. "To not include the image inline but make it accessible by a link" not considered reasonable?
Because unless all photos are shown through links, the ones that are will be "flagged", essentially singled out as potentially offensive to a group or groups. Should the Jack Daniels logo be linked then, seeing as it might be quite offensive to a billion muslims? This will only reinforce the notion that wikipedia editors are biased. And that's Not Good for our NPOV aims.
Why not - as has been stated - no information is lost - and is not that showing sensitivity towards other cultures - I don't see how having respect for certain cultures is pushing a point of view. If someone made that argument on the Jack Daniels page then I woul
Are you saying it's bad that 11 and 12 year old prostitutes exist? The practice had been around for thousands of years, is alive and well today, and will most likely go on for quite some time. Are you inserting a personal value judgment? On this list, fine. Keep it out of the WP though.
I am not saying what my morality dictates. It is not relevent to the creating of the encyclopedia.
Yep - I am saying that - and slavery and pre-teen prostitition are *BAD* and IMHO evil. And images of 11 and 12 year old prostitutes performing their services would be out of bounds on wikipedia. This is not pushing POV, this is being a human. And I am glad to see that [[Sex tourism]] includes a link on law enforcement targetting this practice.
There is a link. [[Autofellatio]]. There. Happy?
Exactly - and thanks though once is enough for me.
