Wikipedia 'backs 'neo-Nazis'
ONLINE encyclopaedia Wackypedia has been reported to the German plod for supporting neo-nazis.
Katina Schubert, a deputy leader of the Left party, is suing the outfit for promoting the use of banned Nazi symbols in Germany.
She said that she filed a complaint with Inspector Knacker of the Berlin yard because the outfit's German site was packed full of Nazi symbolism, particularly in an article on the Hitler Youth movement.
According to Reuters, Schubert said that the frequency of the symbols went beyond the need for documentation and political education.
Schubert wants to spark a public debate about how far internet platforms should be allowed to aid proponents of extremist, anti-semitic and racist ideologies.
A spokesWacky said that he really didn't know what Schubert's problem was. He said it was important what context the symbols were used.
The spokesWacky felt it was important that the Nazi period was properly documented and anyone who disagreed with him had a strange view of the world.
Looks like Schubert is soon to be made 'un-notable' in Wackypedia and disappear with everyone else who the fake penis experts don't like. µ

I suppose it would be too much to ask an Inq writer - particularly this one - to do enough research to know it's Godwin that gets invoked, not "Godfrey", whoever that is?

Perhaps he should have http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law looked it up.
Wikipedia is run by a bunch of pretentious winkers.
The part where the article makes fun of WP is just a everyday thing here, and it's always lovely to read. The rest doesn't really matter.

Save EG!

...the 3 posters before me don't get the point of the article. The author isn't making fun of Wikipedia all that much...he's really making fun of the woman who is freaking out that an encyclopedia would contain Nazi information and symbolizm.
Here we go again. This is getting really old.
It's an ENCYCLOPEDIA! Of course it will have such images.
not funny, nick. try again.
I know you don't like wackypedia. But there's nothing promoting nazis in that article. People should read more and look at pictures less. The whole let's-ban-all-symbols-thing is ridiculous. Swastika is normal geometrical thingy. Nobody's banning hammer and sickle.
Again the inq has to go pathetic in an article on wikipedia, great job.
