On or off. Simple to engineer. Removes the problem of "arguing over
which images to semi-censor". Helps out the thousands of users who are
afraid to use wikipeida now because, for example, they clicked the
featured article that day and ran into shock-image vandalism*... or
perhaps they just want to read one of the human sexuality articles
without the pornographic galleries.
Leave the content alone. Give the users the power to access the
content in a way that is useful for them.

This is a little more reasonable. But then we have to ask the
question "why" since every major browser has the capability to not
show images. Firefox will even let you set this per-domain.
