I challenge this image. Petri, do we need to show their rotting faces with wasps chewing on them? Noting that it's decay, not CW or FAE is what matters, plus obviously matching the ones buried on/by the 22nd with the ones shown days later. I have a graphic for that coming up, just clothing, mainly. Then replace? (disposable comment if you delete this)--Caustic Logic (talk) 10:15, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

Yes, we need to preserve all the relevant evidence on this site.
I also restored the image to the talk page with the comment If it is good enough for Facebook community guidelines, it is good enough for us. (Sorry, I did not see your comment here.)
Anyway, I believe the image is vital for identifying the victims and for showing how the victims have been planted in the plaster and dust. This is a murder and massacre wiki. Our readers and editors will just have to live with that.
As for the gore, at my default picture size settings I see none of it. If you insist, we can make thumbnail smaller. -- Petri Krohn (talk) 11:21, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
I think it's important that people can come here and read without having to fear that the next scroll will subject them to gory details, even if the nature of the article is as such already "gory". Again, I think the line is if it is evidence of anything. Your picture alone isn't, it's not evidence that the kids were planted or died before August 21, so I tend to agree (again) with CL. You draw that line for yourself, Petri, but please keep it in mind. What IS evidence, however, are the videos. I downloaded all four and saved the respective youtube pages as .mht when it came up. I just opened an account at MEGA and uploaded them there for posterity, in case they get pulled. Link here (will add to page iam) --CE (talk) 12:39, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
