I regret to post my previous mail. You English Wikipedians shall be cursed of disclimination.
I have told to the Japanese community you lifted up that fool ethnocentric and discliminative policy. I would like to add some editors hadn't believed Engilsh Wikipedia did enforce so a discliminative policy. You made me a liar. Well, it is not a big deal, but still the fact remains you are racists.
Bye,
Today it includes a little less explanation and the word avoid was removed.
"Names with non-Latin characters: Unfortunately, most of your fellow editors will be unable to read a name written in Cyrillic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, or other scripts. Many of them will also be additionally burdened, as such names may be displayed for them only as question marks ("??? ??"), squares ("□□□ □□"), replacement characters ("??? ??") or worse, nonsense or mojibake ("Ã!%ôs*"). If your name is usually written in a non-Latin script, please consider transliterating it to avoid confusion, and allow easier access to your talk page by typing your name in the search field or URL bar."
If you really can read that as bias.. then I'm afraid we're just going to have to disagree.
I guess I'll just have to be branded a "bigot against people named mathematical symbols". ;) _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
