I know, I know, this is less interesting than the latest fair & balanced Register article, and on top of that it concerns the German Wikimedia, but just in case this hasn't been mentioned yet:
Hi, we (=Wikimedia Germany and Wikimedia Foundation, ComCom) are working on it. Basically, Schubert did not read the law. ยง86 (3) German criminal code has very specific exemptions for displaying symbols of organisations of forbidden organisations (like the nazi party). It is perfectly acceptable by law to display such a symbol in an article about that organisation.
Schubert came under fire from people within her own party who realize the absurdity of her statement and action. I am confident that she will openly regret the error she made.

G'day folks,
While we're on the topic of German Wikipedia, well done for this.

"The German version of the do-it-yourself online reference work Wikipedia is better than Germany's most prestigious commercial encyclopaedia, the weekly magazine Stern asserted Wednesday. "

Yeah, I considered including that as well, but this is the mailing list for rumination of baseless allegations and drama, so I figured a pending lawsuit is more to the taste of the audience.
