censorship
GigsVT writes "Editors on Wikipedia are engaged in an epic battle, over a few piece of paper smeared with ink. The 10 inkblot images that form the classic Rorschach test have fallen into the public domain, so including them on Wikipedia would seem to be a simple choice. However, some editors have cited the APA's statement that exposure of the images to the public is an unethical act, since prior exposure to the images could render them ineffective as a psychological test. Is the censorship of material appropriate, when the public exposure to that material may render that material useless?"

  • When did we consider Rorschach to be an effective psychological test again?

  • Really, how hard is it to find another copy of the 10 images?

    Someone goes to Wikipedia to look up info on Rorschach

    Scenario 1 : Sees all 10 images at bottom of article

    Scenario 2 : Sees a note saying "these images have been removed". Or no images at all. Reader finds images on google.
