[Foundation-l] Is random article truly random

[Béria Lima]

I'm still missing the goal of this thread. What do you people want? To know
how many people see the "porn section"***  of Wikipedia or to remove those
articles from Random article button and them make it a "random article (but
porn safe)" button? Maybe if I start to complain about French villages (I
get REALLY offended by them) we can create a "Random article (but French
Villages safe)" and if someone complain about..... to infinite.


*** Porn is very different of nudity or anatomy. While I can understand you
might fell offended by Group sex
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_sex>article (even without pictures
and only with illustrations), I really can't
place Nudity <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nudity> article (btw, this
article has only back nudity, no frontal nudity here ;) ) or
vagina<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vagina>article in the same
category.
