I post the suggestion above about tagging
articles that may be
considered inappropriate by some, because it is better to give people
tools to block content if they choose to, than to delete content on
that basis.
I note that proposals to do blocking-oriented filtering of this sort
on Wikipedia are perennial proposals that are perennially shot down.
The obvious thing to do would be for a third party to offer a
filtering service. So far there are no examples, suggesting there is
negligible demand for such filtering in practice - many individuals
have said they want filtering, but not so much they want to do the
work themselves.
IMO there's unlikely to be much specific interest in a censored copy of
any one particular site. Such filtering is generally done at the local
installation level: workplaces, schools, and homes purchasing censorware
proxies or enabling "parental controls" on their AOL etc.
Of course such censorware systems usually have secret blacklists, poor
controls, tend to block sites whose politics they disagree with, etc --
but that's where the market demand for filtering is currently served.
