If a type of picture is not allowed in a specific country, the users should simply not use that kind of picture in the localized Articles.<BR/><BR/>But what we should be aware, is that <EM>pictures should not appear in automatic translations</EM>.<BR/><BR/>It is not only a problem of the wikipedia that such content is freely available - it's a problem of the whole Internet. There are many other sides presenting such, and much "harder stuff", all over the world. In Wikipedia the most offensive content are anatomic pictures.<BR/><BR/>The Wikipedia community is very sensible in that part. I've never seen any illegal content in localized versions of articles. Also the community respects the meanings of others. Only some individuals don't think so - but you can't make it right for everyone.MovGP0https://www.blogger.com/profile/03861252924337265822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12046714.post-1141418620350724952006-03-03T21:43:00.000+01:002006-03-03T21:43:00.000+01:00The English Wikipedia has one community.

This discussion is not about what some people think is right but more about to what extend people are willing to listen to others.<BR/><BR/>So there is indeed a proposal for a policy on the English Wikipedia.. How does that help us, how does it help WiktionaryZ to listen to others ?<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/>GerardMGerardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14287269079265427282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12046714.post-1141418530543244412006-03-03T21:42:00.000+01:002006-03-03T21:42:00.000+01:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.GerardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14287269079265427282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12046714.post-1141411660416412642006-03-03T19:47:00.000+01:002006-03-03T19:47:00.000+01:00Wikipedia:Censorship explains this better then I c...<A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Censorship" REL="nofollow">Wikipedia:Censorship</A> explains this better then I can and has more people to answer your questions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12046714.post-1141338432203767382006-03-02T23:27:00.000+01:002006-03-02T23:27:00.000+01:00When you are talking about WiktionaryZ, the people...When you are talking about WiktionaryZ, the people who will be using it, they will be from all parts of the world, speaking all languages. I do not know what laws would be applicable but the Florida laws.<BR/><BR/>When you are talking about editorial reasons, what community will decide what editorial reasons will be used. We will have communities for all languages but they will all work on the same data.<BR/><BR/>How would you reconcile your reasons for equally valid other reasons? To what extend are you willing to accept cultural values that are not your own..

Because what is "offensive" (which includes "immoral") varies between people in areas such as sex, religion, politics, and violence; WiktionaryZ disregards "offensive" as valid grounds for the removal of information (which includes images). Information will only be removed for editorial reasons or to comply with applicable laws.<BR/><BR/>From Wikipedia:Censorship.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12046714.post-1141319534527426622006-03-02T18:12:00.000+01:002006-03-02T18:12:00.000+01:00Probably it's pretty much impossible to make thing...Probably it's pretty much impossible to make things right for everyone. One solution could be to flag the pictures with questionable or controversial content and make it possible to hide them in the user preferences.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
