Classis Breda — hg. A second test by c't in February used search terms, of which 56 were closely evaluated, to compare four digital encyclopedias: With respect to concerns about the reliability of Wikipedia , it concluded: The test was commissioned to a research institute Cologne-based WIND GmbH , whose analysts assessed 50 articles from each encyclopedia covering politics, business, sports, science, culture, entertainment, geography, medicine, history and religion on four criteria accuracy, completeness, timeliness and clarity , and judged Wikipedia articles to be more accurate on average 1.

Wikipedia's coverage was also found to be more complete and up to date, however Brockhaus was judged to be more clearly written, while several Wikipedia articles were criticized as being too complicated for non-experts, and many as too lengthy.

Some 40, CDs were sent to registered customers of directmedia. The price was 3 euros per CD. The display and search software used for the project, Digibib , had been developed by Directmedia Publishing for earlier publications; it ran on Windows and Mac OS X and now also on Linux. To produce the CD, a dump of the live Wikipedia had been copied to a separate server, where a team of 70 Wikipedians vetted the material, deleting nonsense articles and obvious copyright violations. Questionable articles were added to a special list, to be reviewed later. The final CD contained , articles and 1, images.

A new release of Wikipedia content was published by Directmedia on 6 April This package consisted of a 2. The DVD used Directmedia's Digibib software and article format; everything could be installed to a hard drive. The vetting process was similar to the one for the CD described above and took place on a separate MediaWiki server.

The process took about a week and involved 33 Wikipedians, communicating on IRC.

To prevent duplication of work, editors would protect every article that they had reviewed; links to protected articles were shown in green. Lists of potential spammed or vandalized articles had been produced ahead of time with SQL queries. Unacceptable articles were simply deleted on the spot. The final DVD contained about , articles, with every article linking to a list of contributors. The DVD image can also be downloaded for free. Following the successful launch of the DVD, Directmedia donated high-resolution pictures of 10, public domain paintings to Wikimedia Commons see related Signpost story.

The next edition of Wikipedia content was issued in December by the publisher Zenodot Verlagsgesellschaft mbH, a sister company of Directmedia. A page book explaining Wikipedia, its history and policies was accompanied by a 7. The vetting process for this version was different and did not involve human intervention.

A " white list " of trusted Wikipedians was assembled, the last 10 days of every article's history were examined, and the last version edited by a white-listed Wikipedian was chosen for the DVD. If no such version existed, the last version older than 10 days was used. Articles nominated for cleanup or deletion were not used.

The December book about Wikipedia was the first in a series titled Wikipress. These books, published by Zenodot, consisted of a collection of Wikipedia articles about a common topic, selected and edited by so-called "Wikipeditors" who may receive compensation from Directmedia. The books were assembled on a separate server from those used for the regular German Wikipedia pages. Every Wikipress book was accompanied by an "edit card", a post card that readers could send in to edit the book's contents. Wikipress books about the Nobel Peace Prize , bicycles , Antarctica , the solar system , and Hip hop , amongst others, were released, and other books on topics as diverse as Whales , Conspiracy theories , Manga , Astrophysics , and the Red Cross were in the works.

The publisher Zenodot announced in January that they intend to publish the complete German Wikipedia in print, volumes with pages each, starting with the letter A in October , followed by two volumes each month thereafter, to end with Z in The project, code named WP 1.

Changes made to articles before publication would also be available for incorporation into the online Wikipedia. In March , Zenodot organized a "community day" to meet with Wikipedians and discuss the project. Groups of Wikipedians had already begun to polish articles with titles Aa-Af in selected topics. In late March it was announced that the project was put on hold and no books would be published in ; the reason given was that community support was lacking. On 22 April , the publisher Bertelsmann announced that it planned to publish a one-volume encyclopedia in September using content from the German-language Wikipedia.

The volume was planned to include abbreviated entries for the 50, most commonly used search terms of the prior two years. The book is priced at The German Wikipedia has been criticized for the deletion of articles because they seem "irrelevant" to those who deleted them, even though they seem expedient, meaningful, well written and extensive enough to other people.

These discussions received press coverage in computer magazines as well as in mainstream media. While everyone is free to use Wikipedia content, there are certain conditions, such as attribution, a copy of the license text and no non-free derivative works see Creative Commons licenses and GNU Free Documentation License for details. In March , the German news magazine Der Spiegel published an article on the Rwandan Genocide in its online edition; it was a copy of Wikipedia's article.

The article was taken down soon after and replaced with an apology. In April , the encyclopedia Brockhaus published an article about the new pope Josef Ratzinger in its online edition. Because of its close similarity to Wikipedia's article, suspicion arose right away that the Brockhaus article might have been plagiarism. The article was removed soon after but Brockhaus did not apologize or admit guilt see the Wikipedia Signpost 's coverage. In mid-November , it was discovered that an anonymous user had entered hundreds of articles from older encyclopedias that had been published in the s and s in East Germany.

The articles were mainly on topics in philosophy and related areas. The user had started in December A press release was issued and numerous editors started to remove the copyright protected materials. This was made difficult by the fact that the old encyclopedias were not online and not easily available from many West German libraries, and that the user had used numerous different IP addresses.

The Directmedia DVD had to be updated. On 28 December , the article about computer scientist Bertrand Meyer creator of the Eiffel programming language was edited by an anonymous user, falsely reporting that Meyer had died four days earlier. The hoax was reported five days later by the Heise News Ticker and the article was immediately corrected.

Major news media in Germany and Switzerland picked up on the story. Meyer himself went on to publish a positive evaluation of Wikipedia, concluding, "The system succumbed to one of its potential flaws, and quickly healed itself. This doesn't affect the big picture.

Just like those about me, rumors about Wikipedia's downfall have been grossly exaggerated. The name was not removed. On 19 January they obtained a second injunction, this time against Wikimedia Deutschland, prohibiting the address www. Wikimedia Deutschland complied and replaced the redirect with a note explaining the situation, but without mentioning the Tron case specifically. The German Wikipedia remained accessible through de. One day later, Wikimedia Deutschland achieved a suspension of the injunction, and linked from the note at www. On 9 February, the court invalidated the injunction, ruling that neither the rights of the deceased nor the rights of the parents were affected by publishing the name; this ruling was upheld on appeal, decided 12 May.

In November, , Lutz Heilmann , a member of the German parliament , obtained a preliminary injunction against Wikimedia Deutschland e. According to Focus Online , Heilmann objected to claims that he had not completed his university degree, and that he had participated in a business venture involving pornography.

The report also suggests that the Wikipedia article had been repeatedly altered in line with his claims by an anonymous user operating within the Bundestag building , but Heilmann denied having been involved in an edit war. Wikimedia Germany displayed a page explaining the situation. Heilmann announced on 16 November that he would drop the legal proceedings against Wikimedia Deutschland, regretting that many uninvolved users of the encyclopedia had been affected.

Many German editors left over this dispute. Parodies of the German Wikipedia include Kamelopedia , created in April , Stupidedia , created in December , and the German version of Uncyclopedia , created in August Ulrich Fuchs, a longtime contributor to the German Wikipedia, produced a fork known as Wikiweise in April It is ad-supported, uses its own software but a similar wiki markup , admits only registered editors, and prominently displays the real names of every article's major contributors.
