Yann, I yesterday looked at the Veganism article, only to find a
photograph in the infobox, not of yummy tofu scramble as before, but a
close-up of a woman's genitals, with a vibrator and what looked like a
man's fingers. I clicked on it, and saw it was being hosted by the
Wikimedia Foundation, uploaded from Flickr by the Flickr upload bot.

Objecting to this isn't a question of being prudish or of censorship,
or of being anti-wiki. But if we want to attract mature editors, women
editors, editors from outside the majority cultures on Wikipedia, and
serious readers, this kind of thing is obviously very off-putting. So
we risk limiting our reach by not dealing with it.
