No, I'm talking about something like actively including meta-data that would make possible filtered.en.wikipedia.org or the like (as Robert Rohde described), not imposing any limits on the way readers currently view Wikipedia. In fact, it wouldn't even have to be directly incorporated into editing; it could be a separate layer of meta-data, such that all the filtering happens through a "flag offensive content" interface at the filtered wikipedia site; users interested in a filtered site would do all the flagging and it could even be fine-grained so that objectionable content could be sorted by type. So, for example, the pearl necklace photo would get flagged as sexual, Muhammad cartoons would be flagged as Islam-related, etc. -Sage _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
