Not sure if this is appropriate for this list, but just for lulz. A finnish member of parliament just got caught for his speech being a word for word piece of snippets from a Finnish Wikipedia article. No intervening binding lines, just the Wikipedia text. Way to go!!! -- -- Jussi-Ville Heiskanen, ~ [[User:Cimon Avaro]]

Something on immigration. Moron is of the party who doesn't realize we *need* immigrants. -- -- Jussi-Ville Heiskanen, ~ [[User:Cimon Avaro]]

thats fine, and in the future, with spoken wikipedia articles, we don´t need any real parliament with living persons any more. We will accept, that only at the end of this automatic sessions the licence will be presented. Grants to WMF are appreciated. h Am 19.11.2011 09:39, schrieb Jussi-Ville Heiskanen:

It happened also with some proposed laws in the Italian parliament (in the introductory report or whatever is the name in English). Nemo

Puts the neutrality of the Wikipedia into severe doubt, though. Parliament speeches aren't particularly known for choosing a neutral point of view. -- André Engels, andreengels(a)gmail.com

We had the same case in France last December with a report on Intelligent Transportation Systems from a member of the French Parliement. The introduction of the report was almost a cut and paste from the Wikipedia article. Thierry 2011/11/19 Andre Engels <andreengels(a)gmail.com>

Anyone can freely use the Wikipedia articles, even politicians (or dictators :p), as long as they cite the source (no one quotes :( The Italian parliament quickly changed its mind cause they can't make new speechs without the Wikipedia articles help, hahahaha. (And their children were failing to do their school homeworks :p) Wikipedia is needed for everyone, any place. _____________________ MateusNobre MetalBrasil on Wikimedia projects (+55) 85 88393509 30440865 > From: andreengels(a)gmail.com > Date: Sat, 19 Nov 2011 10:49:46 +0100 > To: foundation-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org > Subject: Re: [Foundation-l] Finnish MP FAIL!!! > > On Sat, Nov 19, 2011 at 9:39 AM, Jussi-Ville Heiskanen <cimonavaro(a)gmail.com > > wrote: > > > Not sure if this is appropriate for this list, but just for lulz.

Don't forget that John McCain did this when running for US President in 2008 - a speech on Georgia which one of his staff clearly assembled from [[:en:Georgia (country)]]. This was in the media for about a week. - d.
