There is a warning…

“he filters appear to be applied because Wikimedia sites are hosting a Scorpions album which some call child pornography.” … which some call child pornography.” That not a warning?

to start this kind of discussion was the reason of the cover in the first place. so the cover works pretty well.
if you get excited by it, it is your problem. its like rotten, everyone has seen it. that is the internet ppl…
what do you expect? (and yes, there are evilminded ppl out ther)

Pictures of children, simply sitting, with few or no clothes on, are not ‘obscene’ or ‘disgusting’ unless the context makes them so. Anyone who thinks that they *are* is being hysterical.

What’s next – banning the cover of the Blind Faith album? Someone has already mentioned the Nirvana album cover. It’s time for everyone to grow up and understand that no issue is helped by people over-reacting.

For those who still have doubts, read ‘1984′, in which Winston Smith works in the Ministry of Truth where he helps out with altering photographs in order to manipulate the understanding of history – Orwell was inspired by alterations in the Soviet Union to photographs of Stalin, in which his fellow revolutionaries were progressively edited out of the original as they met their deaths during Stalin’s purges. Some things are more important than a few people’s hysterical urge to gather up their skirts and jump on a chair as soon as they see something which upsets them.

Europeans are all paedophiles.

not that it doesnt happen everyday coming to this site anyway

It is actually wikipedia blocking editors not signed in, not the ISPs themselves. This is because everyone on those ISPs is being routed through proxy servers that have a small number of IP addresses so therefore it makes it impossible for wikipedia to distinguish between users as they all report the same IP address, and so makes it impossible to ban individual users. A crap situation all round!
