David and I have continued to discuss this in private mail. For those interested, there is a current request for arbitration on English Wikipedia related to the board resolution on controversial content, which contains some further views and discussion. I have summarised my view that our illustrations, just like our texts, should follow good practice established in reliable sources here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case&oldid=457335488#Statement_by_Jayen466 As John Vandenberg pointed out in his comment at the arbitration request, the board's resolution on biographies of living people led to several community RfCs on en:WP last year. Wikipedia may need a similar community process to discuss the implications of the board resolution on controversial content, and the principle of least astonishment.
