Images of the dead

Aboriginal culture usually refrains from showing pictures of the dead or mentioning their names. It is considered highly disrespectful towards the deceased and is particularly distressing for the family of the dead person to have their loved ones portrayed in this way. This is particularly so for respected elders.

I understand that this individual died a significant time ago, but given his important status, his descendents may be quite offended by the picture being shown on Wikipedia. It might be worth considering removing the picture and editing the text as a mark of respect to his family. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.137.234.28 (talk • contribs)

tbh I personally agree with you, but Wikipedia is not censored. That includes for cultural/religious/spiritual reasons. --Krsont 14:46, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
