I am sick of discussing this. But that was actually proposed, not by 
myself (by another user, because of lag and time zone problems, mostly).

Yes be surprised as I strongly support being a part of Wikimedia, I 
strongly support all articles to be released under GFDL, and written, 
hopefully from NPOV. I strongly encourage users of the Hebrew 'pedia to 
read and post on the mailing lists.

I do support having (some) uniform Logo for all languages, but I don't 
think that all wiki users feel good about Hobbes' quote. And by the way,
I declared I will not vote for any specific logo.

 From the Hebrew pedia's [[Wikipedia:Administrators]] page I wrote 
(translated from hebrew):

"These users should not be seen as any authority on this site, decisions
that relate to policies, site-wide issues etc. are done democratically, 
with an emphasis on consensus from all users. Administrators will only 
engage in keeping the site from vandalism and deleting inappropriate 
content (such as gibberish articles, dictionary definitions, copyright 
infrigiments etc.)"

from 
http://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%95%D7%99%D7%A7%D7%99%D7%A4%D7%93%D7%99%D7%94:%D7%9E%D7%A4%D7%A2%D7%99%D7%9C_%D7%9E%D7%A2%D7%A8%D7%9B%D7%AA

Please stop mischaracterizing my intentions every time I say something
you don't agree with, and yes I do think different wikis should be 
allowed to have a unique personality.
