To quote literally from their family friendly policy page: family friendly policy page:
On the other hand, for ultra-religious parents who do in fact want to teach their children that sex is a topic to be kept in obscurity as much as possible, Citizendium will be an excellent resource to point their children to.
Probably, we will not have graphic depictions of the sex act or photographs of human sex organs [...]
That seems like a rather tainted idea of "family friendly" to me. When child that becomes interested in sexual topics (and inevitably, they will), and decides to use an online encyclopedia to learn more about it, on Citizendium they will find that any images related to the subject have been purposefully kept off the site. The message is clear: sex is bad, why else would images of sexual organs be kept off a site meant to provide objective information? Personally, that's not the sort of message I would want to send to children at the age where they start discovering this side of themselves, especially not with the inherent insecurity about the subject they are likely to have.
