[WikiEN-l] "Censorship" of images on the Arabic Wikipedia

[Florence Devouard]

I am using Safari (3.0.4) on Mac and I have always been able to see the 
show/hide feature.

I checked again on Aude page and it works just fine.
The french wikipedia has been using such system on some sex-related 
articles, such as the clitoris one 
(http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clitoris) and it works quite well.

I am personally very favorable to use of this system on images which 
might hurt some sensibilities.
