It makes more sense if you did out the previous post: http://asterling.typepad.com/incipit_vita_nova/2009/03/is-wikipedia-sexist-and-racist.html Apparently the problem is that wikipedian are following the general trend of writeing about white men (actually wikipedians mostly writes about inanimate objects). NOR makes this fairly inevitable. Given a few centuries the only bits of history that people remember are the bits written in blood and over the the last few centuries European males have had rather a lot of such history while keeping their civilisations intact enough to write about it. -- geni _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
