Hebrew edit

Hi. I would like to ask you for help on the Welsh wicipedia. We have a new user who is filling up his page with writing we can't understand. I believe it to be Hebrew, and I want to check that it is not something that could be offensive to other users. Could you possibly have a look cy:Defnyddiwr: אריאול and give your opinion? (If I'm wrong and the language is not Hebrew, I apologise sincerely!) Deb 17:36, 31 July 2005 (UTC)Reply

That's funny, he has blanked the page. I wonder if he saw that I was looking into it.

Here is part of the text that was previously there:

המיר את דתו לאסלאם, הצטרף לארגון "אומת האסלאם". התקרב מאוד למנהיג הארגון, אלייג'ה מוחמד (Elijah Muhammad). מלקולם אקס הטיף לבדלנות שחורה ובניית קהילה שחורה חזקה על בסיס עקרונות האסלאם, עזרה הדדית וגאווה. בניגוד למנהיגי המאבק השקט בהפרדה הגזעית (ובראשם מרטין לותר קינג) הוא - כמו "אומת האסלאם" - דגל בהפרדה גזעית דווקא. הוא - כמו "אומת האסלאם" - ביצע דמוניזציה של כל בני הגזע הלבן. ארגון "אומת האסלאם" טען אז, כמו היום, לעליונות שחורה. העליונות השחורה היא אידיאולוגיה שטוענת שאנשים בני הגזע השחור נעלים על אנשים בני גזעים אחרים. לפי "אומת האסלאם"

I will leave the investigation for now, and pick it up again if he reappears.

Wikimedia Stories Project edit

Aloha!

My name is Victor and I work with the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit organization that supports Wikipedia. We're chronicling the inspiring stories of the Wikipedia community around the world, including those from readers, editors, and donors. Stories are absolutely essential for any non-profit to persuade new people to support the cause, and we know the vast network of people who use Wikipedia have so much to share.

I find stories that drive our annual fundraising efforts. It's important to convey the incredible diversity of people who've come to rely upon Wikipedia every day.

I'd really like the opportunity to interview you to tell your story, with the possibility of using it in our materials, on our community websites, or as part of this year’s fundraiser to encourage others to support Wikipedia.

I will be in Buenos Aires from the 10th - 11th of March 2012.

I'm hoping you will elaborate on your story with me. Please let me know if you're inclined to take part in the Wikipedia Stories Project!

Thank you,

Victor Grigas
