That is where I disagree. The personal image filter doesn't make much sense in German Wikipedia, since the German culture is generally pretty liberal with respect to depictions of sexuality, (partially) violence and of course Muhammed. So it's clear that there is simply no or a very small necessity for a filter; thus the rejection. The other extreme would be Acehnese Wikipedia (remember the boycott?[1]) There it might be a unique opportunity to help dissolve a very difficult conflict. The image filter makes sense for some Wikipedia versions and for some not. All depending on the cultural background. The difficult question is, what to do with very multi-cultural Wikipedias, like English. --Tobias [1] http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2010-July/thread.html#59843
