I prefer "potentially offensive". I think it would be far easier to
come to a consensus when the issue is one of a tag rather than should
it or should it not be deleted.

Nobody can agree on what
"explicit images" means. Do we slap that tag on the pictures from Abu
Graib? From Auschwitz? From Dresden? How about images of Adolf
Hitler and George Bush?

Well, no. All we need do is have some sort of flag for explicit images
and make sure that these are handled appropriately. It could be
completely transparent to the user through using cookies. I don't want
to ban such images, nor do I think it is possible to stop children
viewing them. I just want a way to stop wowsers equating Wikipedia
with porn and demonstrating this on prime time TV.
Nail on the head.
