Just to inform you that there is ongoing campaign against Wikipedia in Serbian by an irrelevant LGBT organization called Gay and Lesbian Info Center (GLIC) [1]. The organization has good political and media connections, including B92.
Article about this organization [2] has been deleted [3] because organization exists for one year and it didn't have any relevant action, except meeting with the president of Serbia, Boris Tadic. This was enough for them to use their political and media connections to start FUD campaign against Wikipedia in Serbia. Thanks to those connections, Wikimedia Serbia was not able to publish its own response. They presented this at the first moment under the title "Homophobia on Serbian Wikipedia", but article name has been changed. Unlike their claims, other, relevant LGBT organizations have articles about them, like Queeria [4] is. We also have relatively good articles about LGBT issues: Lesbian [5], Gay [6], Bisexuality [7], Transgenders [8], Timeline of LGBT history [9]. We also have at least one important members our community which are a part of LGBT population. The point here is just to inform LGBT Wikimedians that everything is fine with relation between Serbian Wikimedians and LGBT population. The action which has been made by this irrelevant organization already makes more damage to them than to us. So, we are fine with that, too :) [1] - http://www.b92.net/eng/news/society-article.php?yyyy=2010&mm=07&dd=04&nav_id=68230 [2] - for those with extra permissions: http://sr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Геј_лезбејски_инфо_центар [3] - http://sr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%92%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%BF%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%B8%D1%98%D0%B0:%D0%A7%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%BD%D1%86%D0%B8_%D0%B7%D0%B0_%D0%B1%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%B0%D1%9A%D0%B5#.D0.93.D0.B5.D1.98_.D0.BB.D0.B5.D0.B7.D0.B1.D0.B5.D1.98.D1.81.D0.BA.D0.B8_.D0.B8.D0.BD.D1.84.D0.BE_.D1.86.D0.B5.D0.BD.D1.82.D0.B0.D1.80 [4] - http://sr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queeria [5] - http://sr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9B%D0%B5%D0%B7%D0%B1%D0%B5%D1%98%D0%BA%D0%B0 [6] - http://sr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%93%D0%B5%D1%98 [7] - http://sr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%91%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%B5%D0%BA%D1%81%D1%83%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%BD%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82 [8] - http://sr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A2%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BD%D1%81%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%BD%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82 [9] - http://sr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pregled_LGBT_istorije _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
