this isn't the scope of this page.
Line 1:
Some people wish to not see some images. ("This isn't work safe! - My child might see this! - My country's laws forbid that! - My religion forbids that!")
 
This page assumes that (a) you still want to visit Wikipedia (rather than creating a [[Fork (software development)|fork]] or simply staying away) and (b) you do not wish to enter discussions within Wikipedia policy to have the image changed, removed or [[Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion|deleted]] by building [[WP:CONSENSUS|consensus]].
==Edit Wikipedia==
===Modify the image in some way===
Sometimes a modification of the image or its placement is optimal. Be creative. Make it smaller, crop it, move it to the bottom, make it a click away, replace it with an acceptable image that fulfills the same educational functions.
 
===Get it deleted===
#Delete it yourself. (This only works if others mostly agree since edit warring is against Wikipedia rules.)
#Go to the talk page of the article the image is on and say why it should be deleted. Create a consensus to delete and it will be deleted.
#List the image at [[Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion]] and create a consensus for it.

==Fork Wikipedia==
[[Fork (software development)|Fork]] [[Wikipedia]]. Wikipedia is [[copy left]] in both the software that runs it and the content that is displayed. You are legally permitted to copy the whole thing to another computer, change the content (but you may not legally change the copy left [[copyright]] licensing), and sell advertising on it to pay for the hosting and bandwidth costs. If you think there is a market for wikipedia without certain images, or with some other changes, then please fork Wikipedia. We ''want'' you to. That's why it is copy left in the first place.
