[Education] Wikipedia and Education: Wikimania in Haifa

[Virgilio A. P. Machado]

Great idea. It will not be ready for Wikimania in Haifa, this year, 
but I just added to my list of case studies: "The crusaders against 
education in the Brazilian Wikipedia." Right now it is an unfinished 
case because the crusade is still raging at full throttle in the 
Brazilian Wikipedia, thanks to... YOU. That's right, YOU. It is all 
happening under your very noses, using the resources that the 
Wikimedia Foundation makes available to the gang that runs the 
Brazilian Wikipedia. A word of warning, also, to all the donors to 
the Wikimedia Foundation whose money is unwittingly being used to 
support that big sham called Portuguese Wikipedia. Sounds dramatic, 
exaggerated, overblown? I wouldn't believe it myself if I were not 
there, right on top of the list of those blocked to infinite for 
daring, for trying such foolish endeavor. My worst sin, I'm very 
sorry to say: being a Portuguese university professor trying to run a 
successful higher education project in a Wikipedia dominated by 
Brazilian highschoolers. In the mean time, have fun in Haifa, patting 
each other on the back for a job well done.

Sincerely,

Virgilio A. P. Machado
