Can you explain why Wikipedia and Wikimedia tends to
avoid having
explicit guidelines on such matters?
It's a gross NPOV violation.
My position is that a single sentence ("Do not
place shocking or
explicit pictures into an article unless they have been approved by a
consensus of editors for that article") is insufficient as guidance.
The opposing position (which I assume is the one you take, but please
correct me if I am wrong) is that anything stronger or more detailed
or specific than that that would tip things over the line towards
censorship?
I'm certainly not saying "editorial judgement is evil."
