Also, concerning the following statement:

less troublesome than images that pop up without warning.

I have never had any issue with images poping up on Wikipedia, and certainly not without warning. We http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Content_disclaimer which explicitly says "Wikipedia contains many different images, some of which are considered objectionable or offensive by some readers." I'd consider that a reasonable warning. Anyway, this is not my main issue. Please move these conversations off list. Thank You!
