[edit] (Self) Censorship?

Consider the official policy:

• Wikipedia may contain objectionable content
• Wikipedia is not censored (for the protection of minors)
• The key policies
  1. Avoid bias.
  2. Don't infringe copyrights.
  3. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. (emphasis mine)
  4. Respect other contributors.

[edit] My commentary

Wikipedia strives for correct information. This is why I am participating in this project. If an image (without copyright issues) portrays information correctly and applies to an article, then it should be displayed inline, without obstructions. A better image may replace a former image; a different image may be added to an article. DO NOT STIFLE CORRECT INFORMATION

[edit] End-user image suppression

Instead of end-user^Wserver-side image suppression, I suggest real end-user image suppression.

• Mozilla Firefox
  • ImageShowHide by Dmitriy Altuhov
  • Nuke Image by Ted Mielczarek
  • AdBlock by Henrik Aasted, Wladimir Palant, rue, et al
  • BlockXXX by Tom Christensen

• Mozilla, Camino, Netscape, Konqueror, Epiphany, Safari

  Currently I do not know how image suppression is done in these browsers. If you do know, please provide information.

• Opera
  • Built-in feature. See Opera's knowledge base article.

• Internet Explorer
  • Web Accessories for Internet Explorer 5

    Although there is a note on the page that this download is only recommended for Internet Explorer 5, it has been reported that the image toggle feature works in Internet Explorer 6.
