Here're some technical ideas for dealing with potentially offensive 
content:

- Tag "potentially offensive" content for downstream censorship.

- When someone creates an account on Wikipedia they can check a "hide 
potentially offensive content from immediate view" option, which can be 
overridden when reading an article.

- As Skyring suggested, a one-time cookie-based splash screen when 
navigating to a page with "potentially offensive" content, for those 
not logged in.

- Print versions of Wikipedia could simply include or not include 
"potentially offensive" content. If both were printed one would be for 
the squeamish and one for everyone else.
