Unfortunately, that's not the "we" I seem to belong to.
I'm not sure what you mean. All I was talking about was what's on
pages like this one:
http://www.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Booksources&isbn=03…
The status quo is that we list 10 different booksellers in English, 2
in Japanese, and 3 libraries.
and we've
consciously made the choice not to boycott anyone or have
any particular editorial policy on this.
There are many, many more bookstores, give them a chance!
Well, sure! Any bookseller that accepts a search based on ISBN could
easily be added. Just 'Edit this list of links' on the URL above.
I think
that's the right thing to do, because it's really outside our
mission to make controversial political statements about booksellers.
Refusing to take a posisition is a political statement, too.
I suppose so, in the sense that it is taking the position that
wikipedia ought to be neutral on such matters.
