Do you get a 'not available in your country' type warning when you go?

Hello,
Might I suggest that if folks want to continue talking about this, they
rename this thread, as it is no longer about Kourosh Karimkhany, and it is
just creating background noise for those of us who have no desire to
discuss the whole Wikipedia Zero freedom thing yet again?
Cheers,

Boi,
All comparisons of WP with other sources were cherry picked. They picked
articles where
the science was well established, or they picked articles which were
being edit warred to
exhaustion if you know of comparisons where that isn't the case then
cough them up.

Hoi,
Research is not what we compete with. Research is not encyclopaedic either.
The research I refer to compared a set of subjects and compared those in
several sources... Then again why bore you with information you already
could know..
Cherry picking an article from Brittanica is wonderful, it

Hi everyone,
For the past year, the US television program* 60 Minutes*[1] has been
working on a segment on Wikimedia. We learned that it will air today
Sunday, April 5, at 7 p.m. EST/PST, and will be available for streaming on
the* 60** Minutes* website (http://www.cbsnews.com/60-minutes/),
Excellent, thanks Katherine. I'll check the 60 Minutes segment to see if
they have ideas that I can reuse for the video productions that some of us
are working on this year. It sounds like their intended audience is
different, more aimed at educating readers than educating potential editors

There has been a protracted thread in the last couple of days that seems to
amount to an escalating ego battle among 2-3 participants. I could be
wrong, but I don't think this has much interest beyond those 2-3

I'd like to request that the participants or the list moderators take
