We've had this discussion on several pages. Nobody can agree on what "explicit images" means. Do we slap that tag on the pictures from Abu Graib? From Auschwitz? From Dresden? How about images of Adolf Hitler and George Bush?

Well, no. All we need do is have some sort of flag for explicit images and make sure that these are handled appropriately. It could be completely transparent to the user through using cookies. I don't want to ban such images, nor do I think it is possible to stop children viewing them. I just want a way to stop wowsers equating Wikipedia with porn and demonstrating this on prime time TV.
Nail on the head.
