But when it comes to discussing whether a specific illustration or media file should be
added
to an article, the one criterion nobody seems to raise is whether this is the type of
image or
video a reliably published educational source would include. Instead, we often hear that
because Wikipedia is not censored, we *must* keep an image or media file in the article,
*especially so* if it is controversial.
Quite on the contrary:
To include a specific image in a specific article is part of the editing process.
Everyone can follow this process in the history of the article.
To filter it away without regard of the context is still regarded as censorship by serious
journalists.
It doesn't make much difference if the censor is part of the government or the owner
of the publishing house.
