MetaTalk Community Weblog If a page loads faster and is actually a better presentation of the content than wikipedia, then there's nothing wrong with using it, but if it's just an inferior version then yeah, use the original. But there should be no pressure to point to the original if there is a better alternative, that would be like telling someone they should use GNU Emacs instead of XEmacs because it's the original. I think people like to just copy the wikipedia, game google a bit, and try and coast on the ad revenue. metatalk.metafilter.com /mefi/8361

Latter Day Saint - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Latter Day Saints consider themselves to be "saints" in the original sense of the word, meaning members of the original Christian church established in the First Century, AD. Latter Day Saints are sometimes referred to as Mormons (a nickname taken from the title of the Book of Mormon). Latter Day Saints trace their religious heritage through Joseph Smith, Jr. www.lexington-fayette.us /project/wikipedia/index.php/Latter_Day_Saints   (761 words)

Talk:The Wikipedia Community - Meta The wikipedia is supposed to be an encyclopedia in which the topics are not original research, or original thoughts. I think many people do not have this question in mind, either because they give content that can not be useful for their professional carreer (thinking of all those taking care of articles on movies, news, american cities...) or because they are still students. A community is a group of people united in a common goal. meta.wikimedia.org /wiki/Talk:The_Wikipedia_Community   (2444 words)

Commons talk:Language policy - Wikimedia Commons Portuguese is no exception, and it is not spoken in Portugal today as it was 500 years ago, so you too use a form of Portuguese that is not the "original" and "pure" Portuguese anymore. I have no quarrels with them using their particular own version of the language no matter how bizarre it may be, but right now, it's cannibalizing all other countries in the world and depriving them of their own - to top it all of, official and original - version. As English is the lingua franca of the modern world, I'd suggest using the naming conventions of the English wikipedia for ordinary page names and categories, while the naming conventions of the respective wikipedia is used for the redirecting pages title (xx). commons.wikimedia.org /wiki/Commons_talk:Language_policy   (3957 words)

Esperanto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Esperanto is particularly prevalent in the northern and eastern countries of Europe; in China, Korea, Japan, and Iran within Asia; in Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico in the Americas; and in Togo and Madagascar in Africa. After some ten years of development, which Zamenhof spent translating literature into the language as well as writing original prose and verse, the first Esperanto grammar was published in Warsaw in July 1887. The anime RahXephon makes use of Esperanto for the acronym of TERRA, which stands for "Tereno Empireo Rapidmova Reakcii Armeo." This can be translated as "Earth Empire Rapid Response Army," though pedants might note that a better Esperanto rendition of this name would be "Rapid-Reaga Armeo de la Tera Imperio". en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Esperanto   (3588 words)

Mirror, Mirror (Star Trek) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Mirror Universe is also traveled to by the Star Trek: The Next Generation crew in the novel Dark Mirror by author Diane Duane.

The Mirror Universe Spock's goatee has since become a part of popular culture and the namesake of the band Spock's Beard. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Mirror,_Mirror_(Star_Trek)   (3588 words)

Brazil - Wikipedia Four major groups make up the Brazilian population: the Portuguese, the original colonisers; Africans brought to Brazil as slaves; various other European, Middle Eastern, and Asian immigrant groups who have settled in Brazil since the mid-19th century; and indigenous people of Tupi and Guarani language stock. The Portuguese royal family and government fled Portugal from Napoleon in 1807 and relocated to Brazil. Brazil was first sighted by Europeans in 1500 and developed as a Portuguese commercial colony, based to a large extent on slavery. wikipedia.findthelinks.com /br/Brazil.html   (883 words)

Meatball Wiki: FrenchWikipedia It may be interesting to note that Jimbo Wales, the leader of the wikipedia project did not participate in that decision, confirming the fact the french wikipedia is basically free of any moral leader. At this point, the french policy for banning was wide community approval (ie, consensus with no veto opposition), which had been sufficient in Papotages case. In august 2002, it changed the wikipedia logo to use a green logotype with a dove, different from the other WikiPedia websites. www.usemod.com /cgi-bin/mb.pl?FrenchWikipedia   (2810 words)

Berkeley Software Distribution - Wikipedia Eventually the sum total of the systems that Berkeley students had developed from scratch for their research had replaced essentially every component of the original UNIX kernel, and in the early 90's the full Berkeley source code was released publically with a very generous license called the BSD License. Berkeley used their software as a research base for a variety of investigations into operating system design throughout the 70's and 80's. Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) is the name of the UNIX dialects distributed already in the 1970s from the University of California at Berkeley (UCB). nostalgia.wikipedia.org /wiki/BSD   (280 words)

Telephone (game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Even if the line is not completed, the last few people to receive the message can compare this with the original, and some messages will be unrecognisable after only a few steps. From an educational point of view, the game requires good teamwork to co-ordinate a successful line, as well as teaching an important truth about how easily information can become corrupted by indirect communication. The game has also been used in schools to simulate the spread of gossip and its harmful effects. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Telephone_game   (448 words)

YourArt.com >> Encyclopedia >> Macau The administrative power (in Portuguese "poder administrativo") over Macau was transferred to the People's Republic of China in 1999, and it is now one of two Special Administrative Regions of the PRC, together with Hong Kong.

Hebrew Wikipedia Such articles often include original photos taken by the writers, who spent time researching, reading and traveling before writing the articles.

Wikipedia talk:No original research - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It does not refer to original research that is published or available elsewhere (although such research may be excluded if editors consider the source to be disreputable or inappropriate). BTW - My experience with original research, including my own, is such that I am sure that any view that cannot get out through other channels is failing to do so with good reason, meaning that it is therefore almost certainly incorrect. While they do contain some "original research," as time goes on, they are being revised to reflect more NPOV, to refine the ideas presented with references as they become available, and to eliminate the idiosyncratic views of the original authors. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Wikipedia_talk:No_original_research   (16280 words)

Nintendo Game Boy - Data Crystal In 1998, ten years after the original Game Boy release, and two years after the Game Boy pocket (a smaller, AAA batteried version of the now-bulky Game Boy) Nintendo released a new version, the Game Boy Colour. The Game Boy Colour itself was backwards compatible with all older model Game Boy games, a trend that would continue for some time albiet not quite as well, and such was a reason to completely upgrade from the older versions. The Nintendo Game Boy was a handheld game console produced by Nintendo. www.datacrystal.org /wiki/Nintendo_Game_Boy   (295 words)

Wikipedia:Translation into English - Having read the French page, I'm not sure that it is sufficiently different from the English castle (which, like the château fort is a primarily defensive installation), even if it differs significantly from the French château (intended for pleasure) Vneiomazza 18:01, 21 October 2005 (UTC) Also, this content should be referenced back to the French wikipedia and where it reveals gaps on the French side, stubs and translations ought to go up on the French side. There is already an article named Laïcité in the English wikipedia, though there has been some discussion on the Talk page (a while ago) about whether a move to Secularism in France would be appropriate. psychcentral.com /psypsych/Wikipedia:Translation_into_English   (4610 words)

The High Weirdness Project: Wikipedia Sucks Some of them (especially the ones whose sources of income are threatened, such as the Encyclopedia Britannica) are saying nothing but bad things about it, in an attempt to scare us away and back to their tried, true, and trusted sources of information. Initial viewing seems to suggest that the new board is thriving and attracting new members, while the original board is beginning to stagnate and fade. Many of the more contentious and controversial articles there have been focus of vicious flame wars, as folks from the fringe attempt to use them to promote their own points of view. www.modemac.com /cgi-bin/wiki.pl/Wikipedia_Sucks   (969 words)
