That is where I disagree. The personal image filter doesn't make much sense in German Wikipedia, since the German culture is generally pretty liberal with respect to depictions of sexuality, (partially) violence and of course Muhammed. So it's clear that there is simply no or a very small necessity for a filter; thus the rejection.
What about Swastikas?
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika looks good to me (visually and in Google translation).
(I realise you may have been asking more broadly than an educational context.)
I never said there was anything wrong with the German Wikipedia. I was suggesting that swastikas might be something German people would want to filter out, even if none of them are offended by sex, violence, or images of Muhammad. Even if that's not the case, there are all kinds of other things people might want to filter out. Sex, violence and Muhammad are just some of the most obvious examples, so they tend to be the ones we talk about.
