Look we've been sown this path many times before,
and it's never
gotten us anywhere, infact, all it's done is make people fight and
occasionally force good contributors out because of the hostile mood
of the discussion (Wikipedians for decency/encyclopedic merit and
WP:TOBY for instance). The fact is, far too many wikipedians think
that this kind of censorship is wrong, so you'll NEVER get consensus
on it. This is a discussion that should be killed before it has any
chance to do more harm.
It's never gonna happen. If you really, really want a clean WP, create
a fork and convince people to help you clean it up.

See 'icra.org' for an example - but the
labels are divided into
different categories, and each category has a set of 'definitions' which
you can select
e.g. nudity - visible genitals, bare buttocks, exposed breasts, none of
the above
sexual material - erotica, erections/explicit sexual acts, explicit
sexual language, visible sexual touching, obscured or implied sexual
acts, passionate kissing, none of the above
the other categories - violence, potentially harmful activities etc.
proceed on much the same lines
incidentally, the ICRA generator also has a tickbox for 'the material
appears in an educational context' - which Wikipedia would probably
qualify as
Cynical

Yeah, I don't see why (for example) Wikipedia
articles could not be
'tagged' with ICRA-style PICS labels. These are machine-readable
metadata that give information on whether the article contains certain
types of content e.g. profanity, nudity, substance abuse, and the
'severity' of that content (e.g. ranging from passionate kissing to
close-up explicit sexual acts for the nudity category).
Please provide a titanium hardened defintion of these terms.
