Sorry, I'm just uncomftorble with nudity in Wikipedia in general, although drawings are okay.
I too am not too keen on nudity.
Whereas I don't think it's a big deal. It's appropriate in certain circumstances, like taking a shower, getting a massage (and that is not a euphemism), or sleeping. It's inappropriate in certain others, including a business meeting or going outside when it's snowing.
I feel that an encyclopedia ofour caliber can really positively impact the lives and education of younger people. By which I mean anyone who can read and click a mouse (I don't know how old that is, but my guess is around 4 years old)
I would want to be able to send a 10 year old inquisitive mind to the W without any reservation.
So would I. I have no desire to drop anything that might be called porn into the Wikipedia. But articles on anatomy--whether of the knee or the vulva--benefit from illustrations.
