Wikipedia
says is in BIG bold letters it's an encyclopedia. It's common sense for sexual material to be included so I'm against yet another disclaimer.
Point me to another encyclopaedia with photographic images of erections or clitorises, and I might agree.
I have an encyclopaedic reference work on Forensic Medicine from the 1950's which is an interesting glimpse to that eras moral standards. The pictures about the various appearance of female genitalia which have experienced various transformative actions including childbirth, voluntary penetration and involuntary penetration are depicted by photographs of preparates taken from cadavers, pictures of underage ethnic minorities (the question I would have there is if there was informed consent for the photography, although admittedly, the faces of the children are not shown, so arguably not covered under a strict privacy concern).
