I had no idea that they included porn, but my son had warned me that the editors pulled no punches in salacious material in the name of “authenticity”.
For those interested in allowing their children access to the an encyclopaedia they provide a DVD-sized distillation which is suitable for grade school children. I have made several copies of this DVD for friends.

Thanks very much for this information...I hadn't been aware that this was available. After looking around a bit, it seems that this is produced by the charity SOS Children in cooperation with Wikipedia, and the last revision seems to have been in 2009. It's available for download via BitTorrent, and readers who don't know what that is, just ask and I'm sure you'll get an answer quick ;-)
Here's the information on the latest release:
Press Release — Children Charity
Whats funny here...is that if you ever tried to go in and add comments on John Edwards and his affair (especially the month after the story broke)...the editors stopped you every single time. When you tried to edit and add facts on Al Gore, the editors stopped you every single time. There are over 1,000 topics where editors have taken over vast sections of the Wiki, and denied simple truths being added.
Yet, porn was ok?
Even after that they claim they’ve cleaned Wiki....I doubt that it’s a 100 percent. And the characters who added the stuff? They will come back within two months and began to populate it again. If you had any connection to your school’s computer filtering system...I think I’d pull this article out and demand Wiki be on the denial list. That’s how bad this has become.
