No, merely that you would no more be 'responsible' for a school age
child accessing that information from a Wikipedia CD/DVD than you are
for it being on Wikipedia atm, or a teacher/headmaster would be for
providing access to it (there's no reason not to have a sign that says
"Warning: this is an encyclopedia and there may be some articles that
you find objectionable".
On the other hand, if we were to initiate a review system there is no
reason that it cannot have some form of content warning/aging anyway
(though I think that just a "mature content notice" would be best). From
this, you could produce two version of Wikipedia - one which is censored
(if you see fit - though it could be argued that this is against the
"wiki-way").
