Re-reading myself, cultural relativism is not the correct description. If anything, its decried most often as moral absolutism or an assertion of cultural superiority. Obviously I disagree with that view. The way I see it, we as members of the Wikimedia community have a responsibility to not do harm. This principle, in a necessarily nuanced form, is embodied in the English Wikipedia policy governing biographies of living people - and it is past time that the core ideal of taking steps to protect others from being hurt by our work is extended to images.
