I agree. My only amendment is that all the projects should share the same
user database.
Helga Jonat is connecting using 66.47.62.78, still arguing over
Gdansk, weird posts on Lithuanian history (see [[Memet]] for
example), and signing as H.Jonat (I was fairly sure it was her
before, but the signed entry on Talk:Gdansk clinches it).
A check yesterday reported that IP address as being somewhere
at Mindspring. Is that sufficient reason not to block it?

Lir,
No one has comment on your sexuality, AFAIK -- just your gender. There *is*
a difference.

Even this is accessable:

I guess Ed Poor's dream has come true.

Can anyone find out whether Wikipedia has been censored by China?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/2540309.stm
While of course that would be very unfortunate, it would be a great
selling point for the website: "Censored by China!" I can even see making
some great banners and graphics. ;-)

Better yet, if we could write article (even about Taiwan, et al.) so NEUTRALLY that even mainland China had no objections, that would be a big plus -- besides being a public service to China and the world.

Plz do not discuss my sexuality, political viewpoints, religion, philosophy, or the like. I have not discussed these things with you and those of you doing so are slandering me.
