Why it's not going to happen
[edit]There is a longstanding consensus on Wikipedia that we are an encyclopedia for the entire human race. As such, we have chosen to be open rather than closed, public rather than private, and uncensored rather than squeamish. We do not respect cultural taboos on nudity, on pictures of what Mohammed might have looked like, on the transcription of certain purportedly holy names, on "naughty" words or "obscene" images, etc. Your request goes against this very deeply held policy throughout this and related Wikimedia Foundation projects. By the way: as the father of an intelligent girl (now a young woman), I personally find your suggestion quaintly old-fashioned, one which my daughter would find either laughable or offensive depending on her mood. --Orange Mike | Talk 01:05, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
