You won't ever find one. There is no way you can edit
work, blocking certain works and asking for
alterations on others, without censoring. Unless your
definition of censorship is the rubbish like a
government blocking an entire site.

GNE won't end up like the WWW because it will have a
central theme to it in terms of its aesthetic, its
layout, its organisational setup etc. All articles
will look the same, and it will be easy to navigate
(you won't have to spend 3 hours in a search engine
wading through porn and "my homepage about.." pages).

And because we are in a sense a sister project with
Nupedia (though we are both under the same project),
people will always be able to find a more "edited"
concise article on the same subject should they want
to.
