Since we don't know and won't be borrowing Google's system, we will have to establish our own. At the risk of embarassing myself, let me ask again:
[[felching]]: "safe" or not? [[oral sex]]: "safe" or not? [[Bill Clinton]]: "safe" or not?
Jimmy responds:
felching: sexual content oral sex: sexual content Bill Clinton: politics
I suppose some wag could come along and suggest that an article on Bill Clinton is 'sexual content', but
if
it really is, then there's something wrong with the article on other grounds, I think.
I'm not being a wag; I'm being serious when I say that if Bill Clinton (and other articles) fit into one category only, then we're recreating subpages. If they fit into several categories, then it's just a matter of time before Bill Clinton and George Michaels are labeled "sexual content," and argued over, complete with edit wars, and/or "filtered" as "unsafe." That's where the POV comes in. Electronic Freedom Foundation: technology or politics? Filtered or not?
It's a lose/lose situation, as far as I can see: re-establish a hierarchy of articles, or risk "collateral damage" in filtering--and I expect that collateral damage to include, for different reasons, [[breast]], [[Michael Jackson]], [[Kurt Cobain]], [[Khmer Rouge]], and [[Robert Blake]]. At that point, wikipedia will have drifted so far from its goal of being educational that I'd rather read a cereal box. :-\
