But who defines what topics are acceptable for a "least surprise" approach? By this principal we should not have on the main page images of humans, gods, maps of any territory under dispute (Armenia/Azerbijan, Israel/Paelestine, Northern Ireland, Libya, the Golan Heights, Kashmir (sp?), etc, etc), weapons, death, women, nudity (partial or otherwise), body parts, meat, laboratory animals, bodily fluids, etc, etc. The whole world does not subscribe to the American views about what is and is not suitable for any given audience. ---- Chris McKenna cmcke...@sucs.org www.sucs.org/~cmckenna The essential things in life are seen not with the eyes, but with the heart Antoine de Saint Exupery _______________________________________________ Commons-l mailing list Commons-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/commons-l
