[Wikipedia-l] www.wikipedia.de points to domain seller

[Elisabeth Bauer]

Hello,

Some people on the German wikipedia noticed that http://www.wikipedia.de
points no longer to de.wikipedia.org but to a completely different site
which has a frappant similarity to a link farm.

What did happen here? Most people, reading about wikipedia in the
newspapers, first try the .de-adress. This could seriously damage our
reputation.

greetings,
elian
