Even if there are some hundred thousands of speakers. But what should we expect from an user who is one of the greatest "point of view" pushers across the projects, blocked for the same reason on <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Spezial%3ALogbuch&type=block&user=&page=User%3AKubura&year=&month=-1&tagfilter=">de.wikipedia</a>....Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4534346435403487713.post-17051710723232316302010-06-03T19:21:00.005+02:002010-06-03T21:01:16.436+02:00Abraham vs. Ibrahim - Hebron vs. Al-KhalilFor the Muslims, <a href="http://www.answering-islam.org/Gilchrist/Vol2/4a.html">Ibrahim is the friend of Allah</a>, but his nation, the people of Israel, are the enemy number one. On the other side, he is the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham">tribal´s father of the Jews</a>. An equation with two unequal.<br /><br />Let us take a look on the israeli sight on Hebron, which is called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebron">Al-Khalil</a> (the friend) by the arabs.<br /><br />It is one of the most contradictory places in the middle East. As Abraham (Ibrahim) comes to Al-Khalil, at this time called <a href="http://nasb.scripturetext.com/genesis/23.htm">Kirjat Arba</a> (book of Genesis, 23,2), he was searching for a place to bury his wife <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah">Sarah</a>. God promised him the land for him and his followers. The "Holy Land". As he came and found the place called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mamre">Mamre</a>, he asked a Hethiter <a href="http://books.google.at/books?id=8CNG2LUW0RMC&pg=PA195&lpg=PA195&dq=Ephron+hethiter&source=bl&ots=smv4IRh7LE&sig=op5AUDWSLP2UFM65LvQVCbuqTCs&hl=de&ei=tfoHTPqIOdSgOIH77Cg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CBsQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=Ephron%20hethiter&f=false">Ephron</a> the owner to buy it. Ephron, who was prepared to give this part of land as a gift, has meet the Abraham on the portal of the city. In the knowledge that someone who give you a present can also demand it back, Abraham rejected this offer und asked him once again to buy it. As Ephron tells him: "You can have this land, and those 400 gold pieces that is worth are not that matter", Abraham saw a sign that Ephron is ready to sale him that part of land and the cave Machpela. That was the legal business on which the Israelis are holding, and which should prove their ownership of Hebron.<br /><br />Let us take a look on an other nation called... let us say Germans. If a German has buyed some piece of land somewhere in China... is it Germany?!?<br /><br />OK, it seems silly, but just because of this one property, the whole Al-Khalil should be Israeli?!? More than 90 percent of the people are Arabs, and those 10 percent should own the whole city just because of this one who owned a part in the past?<br /><br />After the <a href="http://www.hebron.com/english/article.php?id=422">Islamic conquest of Kirjat Arba in the year 637</a>, there were some Jewish families still living in the near of Abraham´s grave. But in the <a href="http://www.hebron.com/english/article.php?id=178">year 1100, the crusade made the end of them</a>.<br /><br />After that, the British Empire alowed the establishing of the Jewish families again after 1900. So there were some 700 Jews there after 1920.<br /><br />In the year 1929, 700 Jews who lived there has been distributed by the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1929_Hebron_massacre">Palestinians who killed 67 of them</a>. 1967 after the Hebron´s occupation trough the Israel, they gave the argument of returning of property stolen from the Jews some years ago. In this case we should notice that there are some 400 Jews between 100,000 Palestinians. Those jews are concentrated near the grave of Abraham and protected by 1500 Israeli soldiers.<br /><br />As Ibrahim/Abraham is a significant person for both religions, his grave is a place of worship of both confessions "protected" by Israeli soldiers.<br /><br />This place was a place of a massacre on the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cave_of_the_Patriarchs_massacre">25th february of 1994</a>. An Israeli comander, Benjamin Goldstein an American citizen who emigrated to Israel, come in to the Mosque (the part of the building with the grave) on a Friday and killed 39 Muslims who find in there to pray. Three Israeli soldiers which were on the entrance as "protection" didn´t act.<br /><br />Hebron or Al-Khalil, the place where everything have begun, and the place which was the reason for the death of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Yitzhak_Rabin">Yitzhak Rabin</a>, is still the place of the fights and of the separation of two religions with the same roots.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4534346435403487713.post-23223924986171148212010-06-01T16:59:00.001+02:002010-06-01T17:35:07.989+02:00Insult Islam... it is freedom of speech...If you say "Nigga", you´re a rasist.

It is a language based project, and there are more than 700 projects made by volunteers, which spend their unpaid time to write and to make the whole "knowledge of the human race available for everyone, allover the world". The central part is maded by few projects like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/">en.wikipedia.org</a>, <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/">de.wikipedia.org</a>, <a href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/">meta.wikimedia.org</a>, <a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/">commons.wikimedia.org</a>...<br /><br />For usual, the Wikimedia Fondation is owner of all projects and domains, no matter in which language they are written.<br /><br />False!<br />There is a project above those rules, so called "<a href="http://hr.wikipedia.org/">Croatian Wikipedia</a>", for real Wikipedia on Croatian language. If we forget the<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Five_pillars"> five pillars of wikipedia</a>, this is the only project with "own" rules. The first step into the "country-owned" Wikipedia are national insignia on the main page. There is no other project (between more than 700!) having national insignia on the main page, but "Croatian Wikipedia" is not made for everyone who would like to contribute in that language as others, but for all Croats no matter if they can speak or write this language.<br /><br />The specifications of this project are:<br />1. Use Croatian sources, even if they are wrong or <a href="http://www.hercegbosna.org/">political</a> (pages without impressum or possibillity to contact owner, broken rule: neutral point of view)<br />2. If you want to contribute, don´t even try to use some <a href="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/to%C4%8Dno">words</a> of familiar languages like Serbian or Bosnian, otherwise you will be blocked from editing for infinite (broken rule: assume good faith)<br />3. Dont even think about posting crtical view on a "<a href="http://hr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Razgovor:Ante_Paveli%C4%87">Croatian</a>" article or you will be called such names as proserbian, probosnian, nationalistic... (broken rule: assume good faith, no personal attack)<br />4. To get a sysop flag on "Croatian" Wikipedia, you need to join a group of "real leaders". This is just possible if you write hard core nationalistic articles. The second step is a invitation on the privat channel on IRC freenode server called #PGC. Once there, you will get all informations about "persons non grata" and will be informed about steps you should made to support the view of PGC community. Otherway, you can participiate in a Wikimedija Hrvatske, a not official chapter of Wikimedia Fondation, owned by three users and registered in <a href="http://www.uprava.hr/RegistarUdruga/faces/WEB-INF/pages/searchResult.jsp">Zagreb, Sokolska 31.</a> a familiar <a href="http://maps.google.com/">house without office</a> (after skipping captcha, insert Wikimedija Hrvatske and than klick on the blue number at left, for the adress, insert Sokolska 31. Zagreb on maps.google.com).<br /><br />to be continued...Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4534346435403487713.post-18402770711954849502010-05-30T09:44:00.000+02:002010-05-30T09:59:01.924+02:00Nudity on WikipediaSome weeks ago, there was a discussion about pictures showing porn content on the Wikipedia. This was started by a online report from an american newspaper. After that, the founder of Wikipedia Jimbo Wales, has start a deleting action on <a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org">commons.wikimedia.org</a> and has remove few houndreds of pictures used for illustration in the article. This has been done without a community consensus and after that, the community acted with an petition and proposal for removing of founder rights on all projects. As result, Jimbo has made a "step backwards" and requested removing of those "technical rights" as he don´t need them anymore.<br /><br /><a href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Remove_Founder_flag">Remove founder flag</a><br /><a href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Petition_to_Jimbo">Petition to Jimbo</a><br /><br />His action was against all rules of Wikipedia, his own dream and creation.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4534346435403487713.post-78917305291326760922010-05-30T09:27:00.000+02:002010-05-30T09:29:29.094+02:00WelcomeHey there!
