Dear Wikipedians!
There is an article about Wikipedia and Nupedia in the latest issue of Switzerland largest weekly news magazine (http://www.facts.ch). It's in german though and not available online...
Anyhow, if you don't have a chance to buy a copy of 'facts' you might want to have a look at a jpg-image of the 2 page article (300 kByte) http://www.vt.ilw.agrl.ethz.ch/~hoevekam/tmp/facts.jpg. (I'll ask the author of the article to provide an online version...)
I think it's a nice article giving a well-balanced introduction to - mainly - Wikipedia. OK, the picture of Larry with it's title is kind of out-dated and it wasn't clear to me, that they will include it, when I 'proof-read' the article. BTW, I am the guy hiding behind some books on the second picture...
Hope that makes up for some of the trouble with 24 etc...
Bye
Tobias

Cool! Time to break out the old Woerterbuch...

More good news: the Orthodox Baha'i guy has seen the error of his ways and is working to improve the NPOVized article rather than constantly reverting the page to his old version. Hurray! See, *some* people learn to work with the community, errrr group of regular participants. :)

Very cool. All day today I will go around saying "zusammengetragen". I like the sound of that. zusammengetragen zusammengetragen zusammengetragen zusammengetragen. I know German speakers are smart! They must be, their words are so long!
