Portal talk:Discrimination

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello

I've got a question about discrimination and neutrality in Wikipedia. I'm a user in the german Wikipedia and wrote there a lot of Articles about discrimination. I wanted to make a good structure with discrimination-categories. There are enough articels. Now there are two categories deleted: de:Kategorie:Sexismus (category sexism) and de:Kategorie:Heterosexismus (category homophobia). The main argument is: not all cultures agree with the non discrimination policy, so categories about discrimination are not neutral, they are grounded in a western perspective. So they have to be deleted [1]. But I think, since january 2006 there is the Wikimedia Foundation 'Non Discrimination Policy'[2] which shall not be ignored by any local wikimedia project. The German admin said to me: you don't understand how wikipedia works, you don't understand the neutrality-policy. What do you think about neutrality and non-discrimination? -- schwarze feder 17:52, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

You would be more likely to get a response on the talk page of this wikiproject.—Cronholm¹⁴⁴ 09:13, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Did you know?

On what basis is the did you know section maintained in this article. Per WP:DYK, the Did you know? section on the main page of wikipedia includes only newly created articles (or those that have undergone a major expansion). Is the criteria here the same?

Also, is it not required that the article in bold mention the fact that is being displayed and also have a source for it?Bless sins (talk) 14:58, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
