FEATURES The Hebrew Wikipedia is renowned for its extensive series of mathematical articles which cover topics from the basics of Calculus and Linear Algebra up to advanced topics of Functional Analysis , Abstract Algebra and Algebraic Geometry . .]] Another major area of work is History , putting a focus on Jewish History , the History Of Israel and Military History . Such articles often include original photos taken by the writers, who spent time researching, reading and traveling before writing the articles. The Hebrew Wikipedia is also relatively rich with articles related to countries and cultures from which Jewish Immigrants came to Israel - Belarus , Georgia , Russia , Ukraine and others. The Hebrew Wikipedia has some unique projects such as the project which works on articles on Israeli elections; from the establishment of the State Of Israel up until the latest election, held in April 2006 . Each election has its own article containing historical background, a description of the campaign, the election results and the aftermath. Other projects include ) and gothic structures, Israel Railways , Israel's transportation, London , Walt Disney 's Theme Park s, history of the world's countries etc. EMPHASIS ON QUALITY The Hebrew Wikipedia Community is very concerned about maintaining quality. In many circumstances, they prefer to delete a badly worded article, or , rather than trying to improve them. As of July 2006, the Hebrew Wikipedia has one of the highest amounts of bytes per article, and the highest of all editions on Wikipedia with over 20,000 articles. Wikimedia Statistics Tool Whereas the English Wikipedia requires a general consensus for deleting articles (hence are not considered votes), the Hebrew Wikipedia has adopted a policy of deletion upon a 55% majority, with no minimum number of votes. CONTROVERSY The Hebrew Wikipedia's general written and unwritten policies are somewhat different than those used in the English Wikipedia. This difference is a major source of controversy. While the official policy states that all Wikipedians are equal, unofficially, registered users' opinions get more respect . In addition, the voting-based deletion policy only accepts votes from registered users with at least 1 month seniority and 100 edits in the past 90 days in any of the main namespaces (ie. all namespaces except for the user, wikipedia and all talk namespaces). The above and other trends have culminated in the February 2006 "Wikipedians for Change" movement, which tried to usher the community into a more peaceful nature regarding non registered users' edits, the speedy deletion of esoteric articles and a general trend towards rule-based management. The movement failed to achieve community consensus. Moreover, the controversies surrounding the relationship between users and administrators are still frequently cited. Many users have claimed, when leaving the Hebrew Wikipedia that they are doing so due to what they believe to be overly harsh behavior by the administrators. {Link without Title} NOTES EXTERNAL LINKS |
