POV fork of Nanjing Massacre. Delete. Postdlf 16:13, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. There must be a better solution than forking every article with potentially objectionable images. Wmahan. 17:13, 2005 Apr 18 (UTC)
• Strong Delete. People should copy the entire WP database to their own server and censor away to their heart's delight. --Lee Hunter 17:35, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Delete; forks are bad for the project. This is a good example. Better to use the talk page and work for consensus and compromise if necessary. Antandrus 01:18, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Strong delete. Ditto with the above. Can't this be supplemented with javascript? -- Natalinasmpf 00:51, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, if you don't like the images you can always turn them off before viewing the page, or write a JavaScript engine as suggested above. Are we going to have a similar "no guts" page for Auswitz (sorry if I've spelled it wrong) and other massacres? No? Then not for this either. If all else fails, the image thumbnails/frames could be replaced with text-links saying "the corpses of the victims (WARNING: potentially objectionable content)" or something like that.

• Delete. I would like however, a function to disable images on all articles. RustyCale 12:20, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • I'd certainly support that, if it's 100% user-controlled. It would certainly eviscerate any rationale for taming down "inappropriate" images or creating "alternative" versions like this one. The only concerns that should guide us in illustrating articles is whether it is informative and relevant to the article, regardless of whether it's on Sesame Street or autofellatio.

Comment. Does javascript work on wiki pages? -- Natalinasmpf 22:59, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
