It's weird. Nothing about it on Katherines Twitter, nothing on Jimmy's twitter, something is going on.
Here is written something by a African wikipedian in there Village pump. (in African, close related to Dutch, so I can read it)
Ope Brief: Het Wikimania dan nou stapelgekmal geword?
Open letter to Wikimedia, are you complete out of your mind?
And what he is writing is about the same where I am complaining about.
Because what he is pointing out is the immense different between the African culture and the culture of the western world. And if you understand the culture difference between America and Europe is immense, it is very understandeble the different between the western world and Africa is much bigger, it must be light years.
Ek het ook gesien die een vergadering is 25 minute lank. Eie aan my doeltreffendheid kan ek dit miskien vir julle tot 30 sekondes verminder, dan kan julle gaan koffie drink en 'n sigaar opsteek in die rokersone. Suidpunt, a guy from Duch orgie.
I have notice a meeting intakes 25 minutes, I can reduce that to 30 seconds, so you all can go for a coffee and a sigaret in the smokers lounge.
Well, read it yourself with a robot, and you will come to the same conclusion as I did. Wikipedia will never, ever fly in Africa, because it's based on the western/American culture. It simple doesn't fit in Africa for many reasons, to much to mention here. It's about languages, that so called gender gap, is this real about the African wikipedia, I think he is making a very good point. You could write a similar posting about Europe.
Verbaas my dit? Nee. Hier in die VSA word ek dagdaagliks hiermee gekonfronteer. Die mees 'progressiewe' Amerikane is dikwels ook die arrogantste, intolerantste, middelmatigste, mees vooringenome mense. Dit is ook waarom Trump president is: die Demokrate is dikwels net so rasisties as hy. Ek is nou pale, stale and male. 'n Volk kry dikwels die regering wat dit verdien. As Europeaan is ek nou 'n foe Jcwf, Fomer Dutchman.
Am I surprised? No. Here in the USA I am facing this every day. The most 'progressive' Americans are often also the arrogant, intolerant, mediocre, most favored people. That's also why Trump's president is: the Democrats are often just as racist as he. I am now pale, stale and male. A nation often gets the government that deserves it. As Europeans, I'm a foe? now. (Robot)
Poor Americans. But I am sorry I say I have noticed many times the same, many American progressive democrats are in our eyes the same as the liberals, they are very leftish with there mouth, but act liberal.
Die hele PR vir Wikipedia toon sterk ooreenkomste met media wat deur die Kerk van Sciëntologie vervaardig word. Voyageur
The complet PR of wikipedia looks very much the same as the PR of the scientology church. Is there anyone who can inform mister James Alexander and ask for a few SanFanBans?
