Hello and welcome!
Hello it's me again, I'm glad you decided to create an account. Obviously wikipedia is an encylopedia and so isn't tyhe place to create a disabled wiki, however Wikia may be the place you are looking for. Theresa Knott | Taste the Korn 18:44, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Dear Mr. Wales, Hopiakuta 19:43, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
Hopiakuta 19:43, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
Dear Mr. Wales,
Hello.
Just today, I've created a screenname.
I have been led to Wikipedia by various searchengines in the last three years. I have, increasingly, specifically searched your website in isolation.
So, yes, there is very much that I do like about it.
However, it is largely a compilation of negative experiences that have resulted in my registration.
Yesterday, I'd encountered something that I'd perceived as racist. It had not been the content; it had been the manner in which the content had been assembled, organized, arranged, employed.
Well, I had interpreted it as insulting. A photograph of two men had been placed near the title "Communism vandal", where they were not.
There are, as well, many issues of disability-access, much like elsewhere on the internet, & throughout Earth, in all circumstances.
I do advocate a disability-wiki, in order to attempt to resolve these sorts of issues.
Someone is encouraging me to try
< http://wikia.com/wiki/Wikia >,
which I shall attempt.
Regardless of what degree of success
I might achieve there, or in other
efforts, do, hereby, plead that you,
Mr. Wales, would be supportive,
directly supportive, of efforts to
improve disability-access,
& encourage disabled-persons to
participate.
A disability version of
< http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Don%27t_bite_the_newcomers >
should be scribed.
Thank You. Hopiakuta 19:43, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Hopiakuta, on what page was the photo of two men being associated with the Communism Vandal? I will look into it if you tell me what page it is on. JDoorjam Talk 20:00, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
It is all on my primary page; however, if you want to see the context, then you would need to know how to interpret the revision-history.
I do not know how.
How about the various overall issues, in order to correct this in the future??
& proposal??
Thank You.

______________________________________
I had attempted to locate a comment-page; but, it does not work. The manner in which someone had added the above photograph had caused me to think that they are vandals.
It is, instead an insult to them. It is, as well, an insult to disabled, as well as AfroAmericans, as well as multiple-birth-siblings.
Was someone attempting trifecta-racism?? How can you be racist, let me count the ways??
If there had been a comment-page, thereof, would I have commented.
I do not know how to move a photograph; I do not intend to vandalize.
I do hereby recommend transferring this photograph to a biography-page, including their names, et al.
It should, as well, a wiki-apology, regarding this insult.
&, which spelling, "Doppelgänger"??
Oy vey, D. F. T. P.

Being racist, handicappist bigots, is not civil.
Additionally, it's not ethical.
& it's, in light of claimed ethics, therefore hypocritical.
I've asked you to revive my page dealing w/ the wikiracism.
Instead, you delete most of what I write.
Oh, yeah, that's "plural 'you'".
Whether it's also singular, I don't know. So, that makes wiki the troll, if my description is accurate. &, I do contend that it is. I would not make this effort to make wiki worse, despite it's snide tendencies. The extent to which I'm snide is to diminish racism.
It is obvious that I'm the only one contending this; but, others who feel this way, may have merely given-up.
Or they may have done what I had, which is ignore it for years, until I could no longer accept it.

Usability
Another WikiProject which might interest you is Wikipedia:WikiProject Usability, which works on issues of accessibility of WP. Cheers, Mak (talk) 05:25, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
You people have led me along many "deadends".
If this is "real" this time, well, then "thank you"; I do not want wiki to continue to be a wikicrock.
Hopiakuta 05:33, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
Wikiracism is proven, demonstrated by the fact that you've deleted a page that I've written on the issue,
& you've even denied me the historylog.
Racist, reprehensible, egomaniac hypocrite,... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hopiakuta (talk • contribs)
Wiki has one policy: we do whatever we can get away with.
From now on, I must try to remind myself that any time that I mention you, I must try to engage the fact that you are less than half accurate.
Please, at least give me a historylog!!
Please let me have the history-access, at least,...
Better yet, revive the page, & suggest edits. That's your claimed "policy". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hopiakuta (talk • contribs)
Seemingly fraudulently.
Weaklypedia.
Weaklypaedia.
Actually, you, if you would keep to your implied ethics, would have a wikiproject on internet-racism, dealing w/ the issue both internally, & externally, as well.
I do hope for you to be honest; though, I expect it not. wiki has not proven up to claims nor expectations.
Al E. Wales: "What me racist??"
Hopiakuta 03:16, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
- I have 0 idea what the heck you're talking about. --mboverload@ 03:20, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
Because when we do wrong, such as racism, we, including me, often do not recognize the harm. Therefore you do not see the racism on this website.
I am attempting to think of adequate nouns to describe the people here, that would not get deleted.
Will you delete "bunch of 'webholes'"?
How else can I describe racism, If you would deny the appropriate pages to do so??
Wiki is racist. Period.
You want to permit me to prove it?
Then revive my page, & possibly we can improve from this hypocracy.
I do hereby challenge you to be ethical.
But, I do expect to remain underneath the carpet. I do expect you to continue to pretend ignorance, &/or enforce ignorance on yourselves.
Hopiakuta 03:37, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hopiakuta (talk • contribs) .
You keep placing that throughout my messages, everyplace where I employ the title-function. I've been doing that for emphasis. I do do it that way, due to my disabilities, & that is simpler than the other functions which require
more memorization,
& more typing.
But, just one of the many forms of racism, wiki does not believe in disability-access, which is summed in a concept called "handicappism".
One of a very few mentions of disability that I've located is this half-intestined-effort:
Systemic bias of Wikipedia [edit]
The origins of bias
The average Wikipedian on English Wikipedia (1) is male, (2) is technically-inclined, (3) is formally educated, (4) speaks English to an extent, (5) is White, (6) is aged 15-49, (7) is from a predominantly Christian country, (8) is from an industrialized nation, and (9) is more likely to be employed in intellectual pursuits than in practical skills or physical labor. In order to contribute to Wikipedia, a user must have access to both a computer and Internet access and be able to use them. Most of the world's population does not and their views and experience are not directly represented. This includes the developing nations, the population at a lower socio-economic level within industrialized countries and those with disabilities and elderly people. In most countries, minority ethnic and linguistic groups have disproportionately less access to information technology and education than the majority group. This includes, among many others, the First Nations of Canada, the Aborigines of Australia, and economically weaker sections of India. Despite the many contributions of Wikipedians who write English as a non-native language, the English Wikipedia is dominated by editors who grew up in anglophone countries. These also tend to be industrialized nations, accentuating the bias towards contributions from wealthy countries. While areas where English is an official language or where education in English is widespread, such as Germany, the Netherlands, Hong Kong and India, have decent coverage when compared with many other nations, they remain under-represented compared to those countries that speak English natively.
Therein, "disabilities" appears once,
"disabled" appears zero,
"handicappism" appears zero,
"racism" tallies zilch, as well.
I can, certainly, absolutely, empathize w/ how you, & others, think that that addresses the issue.
Well, I could see how I would've thought so, if my experiences had taken a different route.
Racism.
Handicappism.
Just two of your major errors.
But you virulently deny this fact, whch I contend is obvious.
Hopiakuta 04:00, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
Again: "webhole(s)".

Hi
The picture you refer to is Image:Brothers Baptiste NIH.jpg.
You are correct that WP is biased towards
- The Western world
- Male interests
- Techno stuff
- English language subjects
On the first point you could look to Baidu Baike, on the fourth to [[1]] (etc). It is generally reckoned (by the "eventualists") that other subjects (than male and techno) will eventually catch up, and coverage is at least useful.
Perhaps you would like to write an article on Jeunes Agape to put this picture to better use.
Rgds, Rich Farmbrough 23:05 28 July 2006 (GMT).
< http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/eventualist >:
Eventualism is a fictional self-help company/religion/lifestyle led by T. Azimuth Schwitters. It figures prominently in the film Schizopolis, a little known experimental comedy written, directed, and starred in by Steven Soderbergh (1996). Eventualism has been seen by several film critics and viewers as a light hearted reference to L. Ron Hubbard and Scientology.
Beliefs
from the film:
- "Eventualism isn't designed to answer all questions. It's designed to question all answers."
- "It's not about healing pain. It's about the pain of healing."

Your list is:
Western world
Male interests
Techno stuff
English language subjects
Although these biases are bothersome, I have others on which I do obsess more, particularly regarding this photograph.
Please note that in the manner in which it had been presented, where I had originally seen it, on a "policy" page, they had been made to appear as each of:
vandals;
sockpuppets;
thieves;
communists;
others that I can't recall,...
Something seemed displaced, so, I looked closer.
I, suddenly, realized that they had been:
AfroAmerican;
twins;
disabled. None of the other [previous] categories seemed worthy.
I, therefore, felt that this would be confirmation that wiki, Mr. Wales, whatever, are:
handicappist;
antitwin;
racist.
Handicappism is a sort of racism directed @ oppressing disabled, opposing disability-access, enforcing bigotry, discrimination. Try asking politically-active disabled regarding the reaction to handicappist, handicappism.
Please note that it is not likely that these men even would know that we've written about them.
Please explain why you would encourage me to write on websites located in Walmart's favorite dictatorship??
?????????????????????????????????
That is just slightly Northeast of several of Exxon's preferred dictatorships.
As for scribing a better wikiarticle: well, I wrote one about racism. Naturally, it's deleted;
they've even denied me the historylog, repetitively.
It is not always simple to knock-over a wall.
Thank You,
DonFphrnqTaub Persina
Hopiakuta 05:19, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
Whereas this is not practiced, any page, any actual article, that I scribe, is llikely to be deleted.
So, I, hereby, discourage everyone from writing wikipages, until wikiracism, wikideletion, are replaced w/ wikirespect.
I have little confidence in such improvement; although, my hope, subquark as it is, is yet there.

proposal
request
It is very clear that regarding a variety of issues, many of us are very opinionated, including myself. We, frequently, find ourselves posting our political perspectives on the articles.
I, hereby, request & propose that there would be one, or several, wikiprojects designed to be where we would debate. Each such debate page should be tied to similar debate pages, on similar issues. Each such page, should, as well, be tied to the corresponding article pages, in appropriate clusters.
In this format, pages describing Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, North Africa, Southwest Asia, as far as Bangladesh, Islam, energy-policy, et al, might all be connected to politic pages in various corresponding clusters.
How would you modify, evolve, this proposal??
Thank You.
