Or to put it another way, many websites have guidelines relating to
the following:

* Explicit sexual content
* Explicit medical content
* Images of identifiable people
* Images depicting death
* Images depicting violence
* Images depicting religious figures

And how would not permitting a caricature of Teresa of Avila being used
to illustrate dildo use be a violation of NPOV?
