A post on Trendhunter reads ‘Wikipedia’s Gets Dirty - World’s Most Innocent Encyclopedia is Adding Porn.’ Well, they are talking about the WikiProject Porn Stars that enriches the readers with the news about the porn stars.
The project aims to implement a consistent format for articles of pornographic actors, actresses and models, as well as related infobox templates. Additionally, the project is to implement a standard means of procuring information on pornographic actresses, as well as to address what is proper for an encyclopedic article on porn stars.
Wikipedians have also considered some issues related to pictures of the pornographic actors, actresses and models. Few more lines from the site:
Also note that images should not be explicit in nature. Pictures with the genitals, bust, or buttocks of the person exposed should not be posted, nor should there be pictures posted of the person engaging in sex acts. Pictures should not include the person covered in any bodily fluids, including semen.
It means that they will take proper care that the articles and images don’t hamper the legacy of the innocent Wikipedia.
At the first thought, it seems a bit awkward that such a decent site like Wikipedia is categorizing the porn stars. But, I don’t find anything wrong or out of sync since you can’t ignore the online porn world and moreover, I have gone across some of the articles featuring celebrities, their full background, appearances, and career history and found it to quite informative. And believe me, this step is in no way going to harm the decency of Wikipedia.
