I know that every project's allowed to create its own guidelines and policies, but this seems to go against the freedom of information principle that Wikipedia stands for. I could accept this "No images" rule if it were present on a Wiki where the bulk of the editors are legally restricted from making such edits (Though it wouldn't be illegal per se, as the servers aren't located in the country in question), but i am a bit baffled that they feel the need to complain about the English Wiki, rather then worrying about their own Wiki instead. Equally i am non to fond of sysops who so blatantly advance their own point of view, as this signals that the sysop cannot handle conflicts in a neutral and impartial sense.
I agree that a dialog needs to be started with this Wiki, in order to discuss this issue. It is probably best to do so quickly, before an ulama indeed decides to declare this a fatw -. In that case we would be discussing under a religious pretext, which is rarely the best way to fix issues such as these. ~Excirial On Fri, Jul 16, 2010 at 2:17 PM, Manuelt15 Wiki <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi all, > > Only wanted to notify you that the Acehnese Wikipedia < > http://ace.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ôn_Keuë<http://ace.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%94n_Keu%C3%AB> > <http://ace.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%94n_Keu%C3%AB>> > have plans about boycotting Wikipedia, as they say in this statement < > http://ace.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pola:Lhi_gamba_peukabeh_Nabi_Muhammad_saw> > in > their Main page. > > --Manuelt15 > _______________________________________________ > foundation-l mailing list > [email protected] > Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l > _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
