Sorry, I'm just uncomftorble with nudity in Wikipedia in general, although drawings are okay.

My view is that the Wikipedia should not contain pornography, but nudity is okay. Some people may not be cool with the idea of looking at nudity, but they have just as much right to not "Click
here
to see image containing nudity" as they do to avoid other
places
where they'd see nudity (Playboy, porno sites, etc.) Nudity is okay because it describes how things really do look. Drawings should not be considered watered down photos. They're good at showing some details that may not be apparent in photographs. Photographs on the other hand, show reality. I think both are perfectly acceptable. Understanding that certain people are sensitive to seeing nudity, we should mask it behind a link. But we are not making an encyclopedia specifically for grade schools, and we are not making an encyclopedia for people who turn red at the site of genitalia. Individuals need to exercise control of their viewing habits, and schools and parents need to be aware of what children are surfing to. That's just not our job.
Agreed ++.
Should make the warning more obvious though. Bold or something equivalent.
