« As the world turns... | Main | Universal container: one size fits all » German Wikipedia back up - because it was never "down"AP has an interesting bit of inaccurate reporting: The Wikimedia Foundation, which runs the collaborative Web encyclopedia, reached a temporary settlement with a Berlin court that will let users access the German-language version of Wikipedia at http://de.wikipedia.org, hosted in the United States, instead of its usual http://www.wikipedia.de. Actually the site was always available at http://de.wikipedia.org/, without disruption. Some German Wikipedia users own the domain http://www.wikipedia.de/, and had a page there that referred users to the correct domain. Those users were ordered to take their page down breifly, but the order was reversed. The German courts never had any contact with Wikimedia foundation. [Link] jon posted this at 7:32 AM |
