" I really cannot blame parents, school boards and other community leaders
if they act to prevent children from accessing graphic images such as a
bloke sucking himself off, but such action would also deny children
access to thousands of well-researched articles which are not in
themselves offensive.

This is going to happen anyway.  We have an article on Donkey Punch and
one on Dirty Sanchez, and those alone, unillustrated, are enough to take
Wikipedia well out of the realm of the child-safe."

There are quite a few other problem articles in wikipedia. Examples are articles like f**k, articles with porn links like the one on porn queen Jenna Jameson, articles with pictures of or links to extreme violence like the Nick Berg one (I said nothing at the time, but the decision to have that photo showing his severed head published - even through a link and with a warning - was a disgrace) - these always were unsuitable to minors.
