LittleDan-
If we made that new domain name, most of wikipedia
would have to be transfered onto it. It would be
pointless. Every country says that we can't do this or
that, and soon Wikipedia is all in the uncensored
domain. The only thing that might work is putting
pictures potentially viewed as 'pornography' or just
'inapropriate' in general be put in the uncensored
domain. Once again, that would be a POV decision, but
I think we need to narrow it down to one specific
category. Instead of having the link to the picture
like there is now, it could just be added or removed
automatically based on your prefrences. In the
preferences box, you could have:
[ ] Censor inapropriate content
No, no, no. There are two very good generic solutions that can be used to
tackle the problem of Wikipedia being filtered in specific locations due
to "inappropriate" content:
- Categorization: A general category scheme, whereby I can add
[[Category:ExplicitContent]], but also any other category, and possibly
filter articles in certain categories.
- Article certification teams that certify articles according to different
criteria (for factual accuracy in various areas, style, topical selection
etc.), one of which certifies content that is allowed/prohibited in US
schools. Uncertified articles could be filtered out.
