I'm not sure if it was PICS, but in general I have bad experience with trying to rate the content of my page. I had a website (it still exists, but I cannot reach it any more to change it) that contained a number of biographies. It was sometimes used by middle and high school children for schoolwork. However, trying to rate it, it came out in one of the heaviest categories. Why? As said, it contained biographies. And some were of people who died in a violent way. Thus, the pages were portraying extreme violence. That's when I decided that this rating system wasn't really useful for my site. -- André Engels, andreeng...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
