So unless I want to see 100 dicks and arseholes I am somehow against * knowledge*? http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&limit=250&offset=20&redirs=0&profile=images&search=male+human<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&limit=250&offset=20&redirs=0&profile=images&search=male+human> You got this the wrong way round, mate. All those pictures of dicks and arseholes are preventing people from learning what they might want to learn, because actual worthwhile knowledge is crowded out by all the dicks and arseholes. There is more things to learn about the human male than that it has a dick and an arsehole. If I have to wade through 100 photographs of Wikimedians' dicks and arseholes to find http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Study_of_a_Male_Figure_Seen..._-_Sir_Peter_Paul_Rubens.png then perhaps we have our priorities slightly back to front. Contrary to what some Wikimedians seem to think, what their dicks and arseholes look like from a distance of 30 centimetres is not the most important piece of knowledge to share with the world.
