[Wikipedia-l] Look Who's Using Wikipedia

[Gerard Meijssen]

Hoi.
Wikipedia is very much lacking in all areas.. What Wikipedia are you 
talking about; it is not the same situation on all Wikipedias.. On the 
English Wikipedia I would say that subjects to do with Africa, Asia and 
South America could use a lot of refinement. One topic I think is 
worrisome is the lack of a full picture for Iran. It really makes it 
easy to paint them as a villain when there is so little public knowledge 
about the people, the country and the culture.

The en.wikipedia is strong on Pokemon, when there is an invasion of 
these creatures we know all there is to know about them. :)

Thanks,
   GerardM
