I think you are confused. It is not a POV not to display images by default if those images can be accessed by a simple mouse click, it is simple good manners. For example I may want to read about 'Tribute pictures': http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=cum%20tribute it doesn't mean to say that I want to look at some guy's spooge over a picture of the woman next door. And as I said earlier just because I'm reading about the Rawandan geonicide doesn't mean that I want to see images of mutilated bodies. And were I a Muslim I ought to be able to read about images of Mohammed without seeing images of him burning in hell. Of course I may wish to see all such images and so long as I can should I so desire then it is not censorship nor it a violation of NPOV. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
