WP:BP does not mention "censorship" as a case for a block. No admin
would block anyone for removing the Goatse.cx image from the Goatse.cx
article or any porn from any porn stars article.
What rules do the reverted changes violate, so the other 3RR violations
are not enforced?

I don't want the cartoons to be removed. I want them to be moved behind
a link. I'd wish, that Wikipedia distances itself from the incitement of
religious hatred against any religion by either linkimaging such
examples or by putting such examples on articles like anti-Semitism or
Islamophobia.
