I remember the article [[Sun tanning]] for a long time was mostly bikini pictures, one topless. There are several threads on the talk page about it. I think the first one is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Sun_tanning/Archive_1#Image_discussions
The article [[Ochre]] had a topless photo for a while. [[Shorts]] and [[Girl]] have both had their images toned down to be less sexual. [[Lolicon]] is an interesting case. It is a clearly sexual topic, but has had its lead image changed several times over the years to be slightly less provocative. Same for several other sex-related articles (although some have moved in the opposite direction). For a non-nudity related example, see [[Abortion]], or rather see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Abortion/Lead_image. Another non-nudity case is [[Bahá'u'lláh]]. This is slightly similar to the Mohammad case, and I'm not sure you could call it a successful resolution, but the compromise was to keep the image at the bottom of the article. The full discussion is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Bah%C3%A1%27u%27ll%C3%A1h/Photo. Those are the ones I remember off the top of my head. The best example of successful use of editorial judgment on en.wiki isn't actually for an article, but for the main page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Picture_of_the_day/Unused Ryan Kaldari On 10/3/11 5:24 PM, Sue Gardner wrote: > Hi folks, > > I'm wondering if anyone here has examples of articles that contain > potentially-objectionable imagery being significantly improved > following normal discussion among editors? > > I'm looking for examples of good editorial judgment being exercised in > the normal article improvement processes -- like, an upskirt image > being removed from the 'skirt' article, or, commercial porn being > replaced by images that are more informative/educational.
