The article [[Fucking Amal]] should be changed...I know many kids who go to this site.
I would like to also propose a boilerplate text that says something like this:
"WARNING: This article may countain offensive, or adult articles and links"
but really the article mentioned above should be renamed to something like [[F... Amal]] or something
The film is not named F... Amal. The title should match the film's name. And despite the f-word that *every* kid already knows about before reading wikipedia, I can't find anything offensive. JeLuF
well then, why don't we just start saying the word every single sentence
hello, ****, mister
Because what is offensive depends on context. A detailed description of many bodily functions is inappropriate at the dinner table, but may be necessary at the doctor's office.
Yes, children may well be looking at Wikipedia. They're unlikely to find the "Fucking Amal" article unless they're looking for it--and if they're looking for it they already know the title of the movie--or looking for "fuck", in which case they may be annoyed to find an article about a movie instead of about sex, but not offended in the sense you probably mean.
