Muslims protest Wikipedia images of Mohammed
Catholic World News – Feb 13, 2008
13 2008 (CWNews. com) – More than 100000 signatures have been collected to protest the images of Mohammed that appear on the English-language section of the online reference site Wikipedia. Wikipedia which styles itself as a “free encyclopedia” allows users to contribute to its entries. The inclusion of images of the Islamic prophet however offends Muslims whose faith prohibits such representations of Mohammed. The Wikipedia site currently includes 2 images taken from the 13th and 15th centuries. A spokesman for the Wikipedia foundation Jay Walsh said ?The decision to not remove the image of Mohammed is based on the values principles and politics of Wikipedia which is proud to censor no one.
Germany’s Brockhaus Encyclopedia Goes nline
Deutsche Welle – Feb 13, 2008
The German publisher Brockhaus has been printing its encyclopedias for nearly 200 years and anyone who’s had the money has boasted a collection of the handsome works on their bookshelves for all the world to admire. But the Internet has been a thorn in Brockhaus’ side years now forcing the company to reevaluate its strategy. The German version of the democratic digital reference work Wikipedia has been seen as cutting into Brockhaus’ profits. “Though official figures are not yet out for 2007 we can expect losses of around several million euros” a Brockhaus spokesperson said earlier this week.

Huck to ‘fight hard’ through March 4
MSNBC – Feb 13, 2008
Fred Dallas Tx (Sent Wednesday February 13 2008 1:05 PM)I have reasearched McCain Huckabee and Romney for weeks. I have always known that mainstream media is biased but I feel sickened by what I have witnessed this past month. I encourage everyone to go to Wikipedia. org (a free online encyclopedia) and read the entries for these 3 men. You might find yourself embarrassed by your own comments in this post (and how wrong they are – don’t feel bad… A full disclosure of this persons background that we are "hiring" for 4 years. Look to their past to determine our future. Marty CR Iowa (Sent Wednesday February 13 2008 1:44 PM)Kristi- I agree that people should do more research- but Wikipedia can be modified by anybody and is not guaranteed accurate. Lina- Ron Paul hasn’t dropped out yet has he? So he still controls his delegates as long as he chooses to stay in the race (at least until the convention). Romney "suspended" his campaign which means he also controls his delegates through the convention. I doubt he’ll endorse either McCain or Huckabee- considering their despicable behavior towards him during the campaign but when he bowed out last week he said he was doing so in order to not further divide the GP during a time of war etc.

European nations on YouTube
HVG nline – Feb 13, 2008
Srebrenica is well enough known not to need any explanation and nor is the importance of Kosovo to Albania a mystery. Ukraine’s Verka Serduchka recently enjoyed Eurovision success. It’s easy to work out the significance of these tags by entering them into the community-edited Wikipedia website. Take for example a Ukraine tag cloud with links to Wikipedia to explain their significance.

Think about that for a minute and then go back to your 1. 5 Mbps ‘high-speed’ connection.
