Supposedly even our newspaper underwear ads are off-limits. Every time I ship a package there the postman asks me if I checked the newspaper I packed it with. I wouldn't want little kids reading Harlequins, but I would certainly never think to worry about content in the local paper.
I doubt that too may little kids *want* to read Harlequins! Saucy newspaper ads are another matter, but even so, if the Iranian Government is spending the people's money on employing inspectors to check for brassiere adverts, then you've got to wonder about their priorities.
However, I can't see Iranian moral crusaders being much of a threat to Wikipedia. Nor neoNazis, for that matter, though considering some of the recent posts exulting in vandalism of their Nazipedia, I'd say that they now have a powerful incentive and moral justification to mount an underhanded campaign of their own.
