Hi,
I wonder if you know about :
http://prishtinainsight.com/
They have a great newspaper that is very informative. Problem is: it is
lacking funding.
My idea is that we would raise funding from wikimedia to buy articles from
them to put in the wikipedia.
Or we would raise funding from other sour

That is amazing! Congrats guys! It actually seems quite surprising to me to
see such a large gift be totally unrestricted when most gifts of this size
always seem to have ifs/ands or butts attached.

Domas, I am disappointed
Some folks at Wikipedia criticize the heck out of schools and don't trust
schools because schools let anyone in, including people who don't want to
learn. If schools tolerate people who don't learn, why do they exist? There
could be a billion disruptive students. And when the old ones graduate,

Dear Tyler,
the kids have got a point. This bothers a lot of people. But it is not so
crucial.
First of all, vandals are not a big problem for Wikipedia. The number of
vandals is much lower then billion. Editors are very successful in a fight
against them so far.

Hi Tyler,
The problem of vandalism is indeed one and it will remain so. Most
people don't realize actually that not "everybody" can edit, or if he
does, it is very likely that his edit will be reverted. That is our
real problem - it is difficult to join the team, which may become

I can understand why 'outside' people would think that wikipedia is
unreliable. But don't all the articles have sources? So why don't they
just learn their students to verify the sources themselves (help us out
while they're at it) and then they'll see quick enough that wikipedia is
reliable.
