This is way old and way off topic but I've been noticing the header that "The German wikipedia is broken" ever since I showed up here and have always have had an itch to say...

The German wikipedia is overly fascist. I'm not being facetious either.

Well put!

In my experience German people are very polite and tolerant. The opposite is true for the people at deWiki, whom I assume are Germans for the most part.

Really a shame, since people, who have never met Germans, might think that they are all like the morally and socially challenged ones at deWiki.

They're either at your throat or at your feet. You've just met the ones at your feet. Put them in cyberspace and you get the other side of the coin. Hope it stays there (finally).

What's your criteria for "working well"?


Two good things it has are flagged revisions and stricter sourcing standards. Scholarly sources are preferred by policy; using media sources is only allowed if there are insufficient scholarly sources.

The German version of WP:V:

"Wo die Informationen herkommen, die in einen Beitrag der Wikipedia eingeflossen sind, soll erwähnt werden und dadurch nachprüfbar sein. Daher sind grundsätzlich wissenschaftliche Informationsquellen, insbesondere Standardwerke und Review-Artikel, die für das Fachgebiet des jeweiligen Lemmas relevant sind, zu bevorzugen. Dabei sollte darauf geachtet werden, möglichst aktuelle Ausgaben zu verwenden, um keine veralteten oder überholten Informationen in die Wikipedia einzuarbeiten. Außerdem sollte berücksichtigt werden, inwieweit diese Quellen in den akademischen Diskurs, etwa in akademischen Fachzeitschriften des betreffenden Themengebiets, einbezogen werden und welches Gewicht ihnen darin beigemessen wird.

Sind wissenschaftliche Quellen nicht oder nicht in ausreichendem Maße vorhanden, kann man auch andere Quellen, die als solide recherchiert gelten können, heranziehen. In Fällen miteinander in Konflikt stehender Aussagen ist wissenschaftlichen Quellen jedoch in der Regel der Vorzug zu geben. Zu beachten ist auch, dass fehlende Sekundärliteratur bei vielen Themen auf mangelnde enzyklopädische Relevanz hindeuten kann."

This should be stuck up on SlimVirgin's wall. Achtung, meien damen. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/mad.gif)
