I think your website has a problem with inappropriate
material. There are
some sexually explicit articles, with graphic pictures. This should not be
allowed, as children are able to access them. These pages should only be
accessible to people over 18.
As a matter of policy, Wikipedia's content is not censored for the
protection of minors.
This is essentially because our (admittedly ambitious) project is to
document all human knowledge in a fair and unbiased manner. This means
that our encyclopaedia does contain content that some groups may find
objectionable.
Our content is carefully assessed and debated by our volunteer
contributors and we try to ensure that graphic pictures such as you
refer to are only included in appropriate articles.
