[Foundation-l] Racism in Commons

[Yoni Weiden]

Wikimedia officials, let this be known:

As long as there are racist pictures and cartoons in articles of
personalities such as Ariel Sharon:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ariel_Sharon&oldid=9263178
The Hebrew Wikipedia community will boycott Commons and not link to pages in
that project. We will not allow our readers to be exposed to such pictures
placed inapropriatly and insultingly.

This is simply disgraceful. These racist and hate-encouraging pictures in
galleries as such is not what the Foundation intended, IMHO.

a concerned Hebrew Wikipedian
