"Wikipedia is an encyclopedia",
and that means "Wikipedia provides  the summary of all knowledge in
accordance with good scholarly practices".  The English language may be
changing, but I think that the word  "encyclopedia" still has this
meaning and  association.>>

Our project is constrained only by the bounds we put on it.
We decided not to bind ourselves to "decent" images (whatever that  means).
If you think this violates the sense of being an "encyclopedia" I would  
suggest that is because you think this image is "indecent" (meaning  obscene) and 
I have no idea why you can't just say that.
