I think its a better idea to have the extras domains point to nowhere then
to a broken page. Its just important that Bomis own them.

hi all.
just a note to the bomis admins: wikipedia.tv points to nupedia and most of the mySQL stuff doesn't work. wikipedia.info on the other hand has been registered by jimmy but doesn't seem to point anywhere. hmm,....

Please see
http://meta.wikipedia.com/wiki.phtml?title=Neutral_point_of_view--draft
for the text I propose to put on
http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki.cgi?Neutral_point_of_view
Basically, I think the "neutral point of view" page text needs to be
completely rewritten, so as to address common objections. It also needs
to give some more of the background/motivation behind the policy, and beat
people over the head with the idea that it's not actually
*philosophically* contentious, contrary to popular misunderstanding.

I've formatted both of these for easy reading, in case some Javascript
geniuses can help us.
Axel's version (which ignores selected text):
javascript:
s=document.getSelection();
for(i=0;i<frames.length;i++){
s=frames[i].document.getSelection();
if(s)break;
}
if(!s)void(s=prompt('Entersearch terms forWikipedia',''));
wikiw=open('http://wikipedia.com/'+(s?'search.fcgi?request='+escape(s):''));
wikiw.focus();
My version (which works on Netscape for Linux, not sure about others
yet):
javascript:
q=document.getSelection()
;for(i=0;i<frames.length;i++){
q=frames[i].document.getSelection();
if(q)break;
}
if(!q)void(q=prompt('Enter text to search using Wikipedia. You can also highlight a word on this
web page before clicking Wikipedia.',''));
if(q)location.href='http://www.wikipedia.com/search.fcgi?client=magic_button&request='+escape(q)
---------
My version doesn't pop a new window for Wikipedia -- it just takes you
there. His version pops a new window and gives it focus. I prefer
mine, but perhaps other people would prefer his?
Also, mine works, but I'm not sure why his doesn't.

Yep. Very cool - it sounded like a paid add though (that's W-I-K-I-P-E-D-I-A-DOT-COM :-)))

Quoted from a recent addition to Wikipedia Announcements:
National Public Radio ("future tense") this morning featured an interview
with Ward Cunningham, the inventor of the Wiki concept. Wikipedia was
mentioned repeatedly, along with its URL. A [real audio version of the
interview] is available.
Quotes from Ward:
"The Wiki concept is much closer to the way the web was initially intended
than static web pages."
"I'd much rather have a community than a shopping mall."
Here's the URL for program:

I have tried to make bookmarklets for Internet Explorer and Netscape
which allow you to quickly do a search on
Wikipedia: you highlight any term on a web page, click on the
bookmarklet, and a Wikipedia search on that term will be started. The
Netscape version doesn't quite work yet. If any Javascript hackers
could fix it, I would appreciate it.
You can find them here:

Abiword 0.9.6 has been released. Along with the usual bugfixes,
translations, and new features you normally have come to expect with each
abiword release, release 0.9.6 also comes with a number of useful
plugins. In particular:
wikipedia plugin lookup an encylopedic reference from the web.
