data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Laitonix-20240815205100-Wikipedians_don't_trust_the_interwiki_community_anymore?"></span>I hope I found an appropriate page to discuss a growing issue I noticed quite a lot, especially in German Wikipedia. German Wikipedia acts as being totally isolated from the international community and other language versions of Wikipedia and assumes all except themselves are totally unreliable. Even the sources have to be from scholars born in their country, otherwise they cannot be trusted. This is knowledge nationalism! Which is insane because knowledge is universal.</p> <p>Here is an example:</p> <p>There was an attempt to create a similar article to <a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&amp;tl=en&amp;hl=en-GB&amp;u=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/gaza_genocide" class="extiw" title="en:gaza genocide">en:gaza genocide</a> in german wikipedia: <a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&amp;tl=en&amp;hl=en-GB&amp;u=https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%25C3%25B6lkermord-Vorw%25C3%25BCrfe_gegen_Israel_(Gazakrieg_2023%25E2%2580%25932024)" class="extiw" title="de:Völkermord-Vorwürfe gegen Israel (Gazakrieg 2023–2024)">de:Völkermord-Vorwürfe gegen Israel (Gazakrieg 2023–2024)</a>. It was just a word by word translation by user <a href="https://meta-wikimedia-org.translate.goog/w/index.php?title=User:Babel_fish&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1&amp;_x_tr_sl=auto&amp;_x_tr_tl=en&amp;_x_tr_hl=en-GB" class="new" title="User:Babel fish (page does not exist)">User:Babel fish</a>.</p> <p>And here is what happened: The article is nominated for deletion and almost all editors currently vote for deletion. The justification reads like this: the article uses mainly Anglo-American sources. They are not reliable and tendentious, if not antisemitic. The article will only be reliable, German wikipedians claim, if it is sourced on German scholars. Can you believe this?</p> <p>There is no trust in the groundwork done by English Wikipedia, the hard work done by their English Wikipedia fellows is worth nothing to them.</p> <p>Why can't wikipedians from different language version work together as one team, and appreciate each others hard work?</p> <p>How can we foster knowledge exchange across borders and teach respect for knowledge written by scholars of a different country? <a href="https://meta-wikimedia-org.translate.goog/w/index.php?title=User:Laitonix&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1&amp;_x_tr_sl=auto&amp;_x_tr_tl=en&amp;_x_tr_hl=en-GB" class="new" title="User:Laitonix (page does not exist)">Laitonix</a> (<a href="https://meta-wikimedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/User_talk:Laitonix?_x_tr_sl=auto&amp;_x_tr_tl=en&amp;_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="User talk:Laitonix">talk</a>) <a href="https://meta-wikimedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Wikimedia_Forum?_x_tr_sl=auto&amp;_x_tr_tl=en&amp;_x_tr_hl=en-GB#c-Laitonix-20240815205100-Wikipedians_don't_trust_the_interwiki_community_anymore?" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">20:51, 15 August 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Laitonix-20240815205100-Wikipedians_don't_trust_the_interwiki_community_anymore?"><span id="ooui-php-1" class="ext-discussiontools-init-replybutton oo-ui-widget oo-ui-widget-enabled oo-ui-buttonElement oo-ui-buttonElement-frameless oo-ui-labelElement oo-ui-flaggedElement-progressive oo-ui-buttonWidget" data-ooui="{&quot;_&quot;:&quot;OO.ui.ButtonWidget&quot;,&quot;rel&quot;:[&quot;nofollow&quot;],&quot;framed&quot;:false,&quot;label&quot;:&quot;Reply&quot;,&quot;flags&quot;:[&quot;progressive&quot;],&quot;classes&quot;:[&quot;ext-discussiontools-init-replybutton&quot;]}"><a role="button" tabindex="0" rel="nofollow" class="oo-ui-buttonElement-button"><span class="oo-ui-iconElement-icon oo-ui-iconElement-noIcon oo-ui-image-progressive"></span><span class="oo-ui-labelElement-label">Reply</span><span class="oo-ui-indicatorElement-indicator oo-ui-indicatorElement-noIndicator oo-ui-image-progressive"></span></a></span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Laitonix-20240815205100-Wikipedians_don't_trust_the_interwiki_community_anymore?"></span></p> <dl> <dd> <span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Pppery-20240816025000-Laitonix-20240815205100"></span>Individual Wikipedias are editorially independent.

At the moment, there are none. At least I can tell you this from German Wikipedia. They don't learn from each other. If Wikimedia Foundation with all its funding should have one job, then to unite different fragmented, local groups to leverage the combined "wisdom of the crowd". </dd> <dd> In this specific case, you could even raise the question at which point German Wikipedia becomes complicit in a genocide. Not by purpose but by ignorance of any other opinion from the outside world. German Wikipedia sees only one side. They try everything to make the Palestinian death toll appear less severe, pretend anti-palestinianism does not exist and the Gaza genocide accusations are just disinformation and should have no place to even mention in Wikipedia. Instead, the Israelian war against the Palestinian people is presented as the only logical consequence and no further questions asked.

A similar dynamic can be observed with <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&amp;tl=en&amp;hl=en-GB&amp;u=https://therutificador.cl/">Rutificador Chile</a>, a tool that provides easy access to Chilean citizens' RUT (Rol Único Tributario) numbers. This tool sparked debates around data privacy and ethics, as open access to personal information created concerns among users despite the goal of transparency. </dd> <dd> Much like the tension between Wikipedians and the interwiki community, Rutificador’s existence highlights the delicate balance between making information accessible and ensuring it’s used responsibly. Both the Wikipedia ecosystem and Rutificador Chile aim to democratize information but face challenges when that information isn't handled in ways aligned with the community’s expectations and ethical standards. </dd> <dd> In Wikipedia’s case, interwiki communities may prioritize linking and sharing across languages, while Wikipedians often emphasize editorial control, neutrality, and accuracy—leading to friction. Similarly, while Rutificador offers data transparency, it has triggered concerns about how easily accessible information might be misused, eroding public trust. </dd> <dd> Building trust in both scenarios requires open dialogue, better alignment of goals, and clear guidelines for responsible use of shared information. Wikipedians and interwiki communities, much like users and developers of tools like Rutificador, must find common ground to ensure that openness doesn’t compromise ethics and that transparency strengthens rather than weakens trust. <a href="https://meta-wikimedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Special:Contributions/110.37.98.127?_x_tr_sl=auto&amp;_x_tr_tl=en&amp;_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Special:Contributions/110.37.98.127">110.37.98.127</a> <a href="https://meta-wikimedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Wikimedia_Forum?_x_tr_sl=auto&amp;_x_tr_tl=en&amp;_x_tr_hl=en-GB#c-110.37.98.127-20241017032700-Laitonix-20240815205100" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">03:27, 17 October 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-110.37.98.127-20241017032700-Laitonix-20240815205100"><span id="ooui-php-7" class="ext-discussiontools-init-replybutton oo-ui-widget oo-ui-widget-enabled oo-ui-buttonElement oo-ui-buttonElement-frameless oo-ui-labelElement oo-ui-flaggedElement-progressive oo-ui-buttonWidget" data-ooui="{&quot;_&quot;:&quot;OO.ui.ButtonWidget&quot;,&quot;rel&quot;:[&quot;nofollow&quot;],&quot;framed&quot;:false,&quot;label&quot;:&quot;Reply&quot;,&quot;flags&quot;:[&quot;progressive&quot;],&quot;classes&quot;:[&quot;ext-discussiontools-init-replybutton&quot;]}"><a role="button" tabindex="0" rel="nofollow" class="oo-ui-buttonElement-button"><span class="oo-ui-iconElement-icon oo-ui-iconElement-noIcon oo-ui-image-progressive"></span><span class="oo-ui-labelElement-label">Reply</span><span class="oo-ui-indicatorElement-indicator oo-ui-indicatorElement-noIndicator oo-ui-image-progressive"></span></a></span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-110.37.98.127-20241017032700-Laitonix-20240815205100"></span> </dd> </dl> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Laitonix-20240823231200-Wikipedians_don't_trust_the_interwiki_community_anymore?"></span>Outcome: The article has now indeed been deleted.

I directly refuse the comment: "<i>That's the state of German Wikipedia in 2024: their biased opinion is worth more than scientific sources.

I would support single articles, but as far as I know the german wikipedia, this is not their way! There are voices that argued: "keep the article" with different reasons and also with acknowledgement for non-german sources. The Opinion "The article will only be reliable, German wikipedians claim, if it is sourced on German scholars" is to be considered wrong from my point of view, because it was clearly asked to "<b>add</b> german sources" (compare <a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&amp;tl=en&amp;hl=en-GB&amp;u=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/de:Spezial:Diff/247666285/247666290" class="extiw" title="w:de:Spezial:Diff/247666285/247666290">w:de:Spezial:Diff/247666285/247666290</a>) before the initial posting here. </dd> <dd> And to provide the reasoning for the deletion in a translation: "<i>There are undoubtedly accusations of genocide, and the topic is fundamentally relevant. However, the present attempt is more than inadequate. The overflowing article reproduces all possible quotes and thus compiles more of a list of accusations. The discourse on the topic is not presented, the responses to the accusations (and by that I do not mean counter-accusations in the sense of "but Hamas did it too") remain unmentioned. However, the neutral presentation is not to be found in the complete and uncommented repetition of all statements against Israel, but rather in the reproduction of the refutations and in the classification based on scientific analysis of the events. Restructuring the article accordingly is more complex than rewriting it properly. It is therefore deleted due to the clear violation of the principle of a neutral standpoint and blatant quality defects.</i>" (feel free to check the translation yourself: <a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&amp;tl=en&amp;hl=en-GB&amp;u=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/de:Spezial:Diff/247964888/247968857" class="extiw" title="w:de:Spezial:Diff/247964888/247968857">w:de:Spezial:Diff/247964888/247968857</a>).

That would be too obvious. Instead, their strategy is to add as many pro-Israelian german sources as possible such that the reader must get the impression that german scholars represent the majority opinion, and the international sources warning about an ongoing genocide are only a blasphemous minority.

A similar preference can be seen on the English Wikipedia and it is a natural preference because it is much easier to verify a source that is in the same language as that of the contributors. It is probably less problematic on the English language projects because so much scientific1 literature is published in English and / or translated into English. Anyway, if the issue for some contributors to the German Wikipedia is they don't trust the US (and / or UK) media, then the answer may be to use other sources of which there are plenty. The French media is full of commentary on the conflict that does not reflect the US view and if someone is truly biased, as opposed to just distrusting the US view, then it will quickly become apparent to other contributors when they try and argue away the French, Dutch, Swiss and Swedes as also being tendentious. <a href="https://meta-wikimedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/User:MarcGarver?_x_tr_sl=auto&amp;_x_tr_tl=en&amp;_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="User:MarcGarver">MarcGarver</a> (<a href="https://meta-wikimedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/User_talk:MarcGarver?_x_tr_sl=auto&amp;_x_tr_tl=en&amp;_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="User talk:MarcGarver">talk</a>) <a href="https://meta-wikimedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Wikimedia_Forum?_x_tr_sl=auto&amp;_x_tr_tl=en&amp;_x_tr_hl=en-GB#c-MarcGarver-20241011171400-Laitonix-20240823231200" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">17:14, 11 October 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-MarcGarver-20241011171400-Laitonix-20240823231200"><span id="ooui-php-13" class="ext-discussiontools-init-replybutton oo-ui-widget oo-ui-widget-enabled oo-ui-buttonElement oo-ui-buttonElement-frameless oo-ui-labelElement oo-ui-flaggedElement-progressive oo-ui-buttonWidget" data-ooui="{&quot;_&quot;:&quot;OO.ui.ButtonWidget&quot;,&quot;rel&quot;:[&quot;nofollow&quot;],&quot;framed&quot;:false,&quot;label&quot;:&quot;Reply&quot;,&quot;flags&quot;:[&quot;progressive&quot;],&quot;classes&quot;:[&quot;ext-discussiontools-init-replybutton&quot;]}"><a role="button" tabindex="0" rel="nofollow" class="oo-ui-buttonElement-button"><span class="oo-ui-iconElement-icon oo-ui-iconElement-noIcon oo-ui-image-progressive"></span><span class="oo-ui-labelElement-label">Reply</span><span class="oo-ui-indicatorElement-indicator oo-ui-indicatorElement-noIndicator oo-ui-image-progressive"></span></a></span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-MarcGarver-20241011171400-Laitonix-20240823231200"></span> <dl> <dd> <span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Laitonix-20241012095300-MarcGarver-20241011171400"></span>That's not how it works.

As I posted earlier, they block and censor everyone critical of Israel. But what happens when, let's say, someone posts a really hateful text <i>against Palestinians</i>? Well, we now have the answer: nothing. You even get a lot of praise and protection for that. Here is the case: one person posted things like <i>"There is also no problem with hunger in Gaza. The people there are doing well, far too well for what they have done."</i> (a real quote, see <a class="external autonumber" href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&amp;tl=en&amp;hl=en-GB&amp;u=https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title%3DDiskussion:Greta_Thunberg%26diff%3Dprev%26oldid%3D249416213">[1]</a>) No problem to post that in German Wikipedia at all. Later, she regret what she posted and wanted it to be deleted. (Kudos for this one person!) But surprise: Her removal was reverted and she was blocked because of "Edit-War" (trying to delete her own hateful post). Not because of the initial hateful post, no, no, but because she wanted to <i>withdraw</i> her post! They like the post so much that they wanted to keep it even against the person's will. Proof: <a class="external autonumber" href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&amp;tl=en&amp;hl=en-GB&amp;u=https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title%3DWikipedia:Vandalismusmeldung%26diff%3Dprev%26oldid%3D249451620">[2]</a> That was the motivation for blocking her. Translated: "<b>Removed</b> third opinion [...]. In addition, this also via Editwar." Again, what she wanted to be removed was this: <a class="external autonumber" href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&amp;tl=en&amp;hl=en-GB&amp;u=https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title%3DDiskussion:Greta_Thunberg%26diff%3Dprev%26oldid%3D249416213">[3]</a> (her own hateful post) Can you believe this? </dd> <dd> In German Wikipedia there is a massive problem with Anti-Palestinian sentiment. Posting hate-speech against Palestinians: no problem. Posting critique on Israels war: direct block. This in turn leads to massively biased articles.

Why do they want to have the article deleted, you may ask? Well, because some Israelian fans shouted racist slurs before the attacks and this doesn't fit so nicely into their narrative of the Israelis as innocent victims. And because they cannot remove that information from the article (they tried, but other users insist it should be included, luckily!), they now try to delete the article completely. They cannot allow that any article says something negative about Israelian people. Because all Israelis are decent and ethical people!

href="https://meta-wikimedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Social_media?_x_tr_sl=auto&amp;_x_tr_tl=en&amp;_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Social media">Wikimedia Foundation Communications Team</a> stop posting to X and switch to Blue Sky or Mastodon. The WMF's excuse has generally been "But we get a lot of engagement when we post to X." [paraphrasing] (1) That isn't even true any more. For the last 10 comments posted to X, the average number of comments was 7, the average number of reposts was 6, and the average number of likes was 27. That's hardly a rousing amount of engagement! Target had 2 million followers and they left. Stephen King had 7 million followers. The Guardian had over 10 million followers. In comparison the WMF has a paltry 600,000. Half of those are probably gone now anyway. (2) Even if the WMF had millions of followers and robust engagement, that would only be a stronger reason to leave. Every time they make a post, they are generating money for a platform that is about as counter to <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&amp;tl=en&amp;hl=en-GB&amp;u=https://wikimediafoundation.org/about/values/">our values</a> as possible, especially when it comes to spreading misinformation and hate speech. Couldn't we try something different? <a href="https://meta-wikimedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/User:Nosferattus?_x_tr_sl=auto&amp;_x_tr_tl=en&amp;_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="User:Nosferattus">Nosferattus</a>
