i think that its important for teenages to beable to get this info + drawn pics (the real pics are a bit full on) teens are still considerd kids but this info relates to them and isn’t really taught in schools. No information no matter how full on should be banned!

I totally agree with you – I keep condemning Wikipedia for their lack of interest in policing the content properly. Our children are using this cheap resource to document their school papers, and I don’t know how can we tolerate such public content in an authority site. Think of Squidoo (on the same topic see http://www.squidoo.com/stamp-test) where they ask writers to qualify the content prior to publishing. So it can be done….

I agree with you Matthew about the illustrations are in my opinion better; @Grant, it’s funny how they don’t bother looking and controlling what their own children look up.

i agree on the images being way way too much, in fact the words are enough to give you a picture.

There are a few pictures that aren’t all that bad, but the real-life photos are a bit much.

yea it’s bad, but just remove the images or something, not the whole topic.

Eh whats with this country. I come from NZ but spent 3 years in EU. I came to Aus becasue becasue of the jobs and I thought it was a progressive country. Well WTF ???
This country has censorship up the arse !!!
NZ has no censorship compared to Aus. In NZ adults are allowed to make there own informed descion. I seems that Aus has slowly been taken over by cristian zelots in state and federal

I blame the puritanical and hypocritical God-bothering McMansion-types for all this knee-jerk insanity.

If this lot were truly interested in the welfare of children they’d do their own damn monitoring of their children’s internet usage. More than that they’d cease consuming the planet with their unsustainable lifestyles, which is greatly contributing to a bleak future for their’s and everyone’s children, and they’d stop buying little Billie his new sneakers courtesy of child-labour.
