This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints. |
This page in a nutshell: Wikipedia is not a place to upload and/or post sensitive content, high quality or not, with no ecational value. |
While Wikipedia is uncensored, it does not serve as a place to post sexual, graphically violent, and/or offensive content with no educational value or reason. Wikipedia's sister project, Wikimedia Commons, has a similar norm, where it forbids low quality, amateur porn. Any posting of content used in such a manner will be removed and the user responsible will have their edits related to such behavior reverted and hidden. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a shock site like LiveLeak. It is not uncensored for users to freely post pornography or gore for no valid reason, it is uncensored to have a more encyclopedic and educational value.
