We are pretty open when it comes to sharing knowledge. It's sharing opinion that we are less accepting of. The freedom to share knowledge may be well-known, but it doesn't always actually exist. Wikipedia (as well as sites like Twitter and Facebook) play an important role in places where that freedom doesn't exist. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
