BTW, reading the comments on the donations shows nicely the main motivation
for donating suddenly:
* Against censorship
* Against the former Stasi
* To benefit the growth of free knowledge

I don't have any statistics, but I would say the http://www.wikipedia.de is
the most common way of accessing Wikipedia in Germany.

Hoi,
The Hebrew language community has a really outstanding record when it comes
to localisation; both the MediaWiki messages and the messages used in
extensions used by the Wikimedia Foundation are completely localised at this
moment. This requires dedication that brings a big benefit to its commu

Do we have statistics on how many people actually access the German

In that case, you can just get explicit permission from each of them
to do whatever it is you need to do, so there shouldn't be a problem.

Hoi,
When you look at the Hungarian statistics at Betawiki, Hungarian is doing
quite well with 99.76% done for the MediaWiki messages and 73.33% of the
messages ussed in Wikimedia projects. As I indicated, Flagged Revisions is
at 89,36%.
When you have localised the messages on a local server, you

The controversy was about mentioning his past in the former East German
Stasi - something he had not told the truth about to the general public
during the election (according to the Wikipedia article and the sources
named, which amongst others is Der Spiegel). The information, and sources,

It doesn't really matter what was on their mind, even though I also disagree
on what is on their mind. It matters that the discussion has been broken
open, and that it will be on the agenda of the commission and after that the
parliament. If it is on the agenda, it is time for a little lobby and tr
