We have a direct link to said photos placed in the text of our content. At first I thought about removing it -- not so much because I am against nudity or pornography or anything, but that it seemed to lack class to have Wikipedia be a facilitator of one particular set of pictures about a here-today-gone-tomorrow person in the news. On the other hand, I didn't really think that was a good reason to delete the link. Who cares about whether it is classy? What sort of standard is that, anyway? etc. I thought about shifting it to the external links section, but even then I thought that would be a little silly. I thought about adding a warning -- "WARNING, NAKEDNESS!" -- but felt like such a prude. I mean, it is linked (not in-line) -- isn't that what I've been advocating for this sort of thing? If you are so daft as to not realize that an external link entitled "Nude pictures" is going to link to nude pictures, well, that can't be helped. So I left it as it was. Anyway, I'm only bringing it up because it seems like a better example of what you referenced than pages about porn stars linking to pornography sites -- this is someone who is not a porn star but has a link of this sort.
