Hmm... Maybe we can flag certain links as containing nudity? Then, the link to an actual image would not display, nor would the image load if a person made a setting in their Preferences. Perhaps links to nudity could be restricted so that they can only be referenced by a certain subdomain, which schools could (probably) block fairly easily, regardless of a person's preferences. That's just an idea off the top of my head, I'm not sure it's any more feasible than flagging certain articles to contain boilerplate text like disclaimers.

Sorry, I'm just uncomftorble with nudity in Wikipedia in general, although drawings are okay.
I too am not too keen on nudity.
I feel that an encyclopedia ofour caliber can really positively impact the lives and education of younger people. By which I mean anyone who can read and click a mouse (I don't know how old that is, but my guess is around 4 years old)
I would want to be able to send a 10 year old inquisitive mind to the W without any reservation.
Besides, if someone wants to see adult nudity, I can give them a few "juicy" links ;) Just to demonstrate I'm not prude or anything.
