[WikiEN-l] Britannica quote of the day

[David Alexander Russell]

I don't see how it would cause edit wars - IMHO it is fairly difficult 
(impossible even) to disagree about the content of a PICS label, since 
it contains objective statements of fact. For example, I appreciate it 
may be possible to have an edit war about whether some particular 
statement is NPOV, how do you have an edit war as to whether an article 
contains an image of bare buttocks? (sure, you could edit war about 
whether the image SHOULD be there, but you couldn't edit war about 
whether it IS there or not , which is what a PICS label is about

Cynical
