Pro Polisario activists abuse of the free global encyclopaedia to push anti-Morocco propaganda

Dear moroccoboard.com manager,

 

You very probably know that Wikipedia is a global international collaborative encyclopaedia where everyone who has an internet connection can participate by creating or editing pages on any kind of topics.

 

Wikipedia has now evolved to one of the most searched references by journalists and all active people in the academia, in the civic society and in the international public opinion, and there is almost not topic in the world that is not treated in this.

 

There are articles on Morocco as well. However they are sadly not always accurate as fanatic pro Polisario activists abuse of the free global encyclopaedia to push anti-Morocco propaganda. Unfortunately only few Moroccans are aware and participate actively to stop this.

 

Here is the site of Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org - Just search Morocco or Western Sahara to see what is meant.

 

You can help to change this situation and you don't need to do much, just a few clicks. Visit the pages of Morocco and all related topics and participate with edits or discuss in the talks. These are important as usually disputes are resolved via votes or consensus in which every voice counts.

 

Please be aware though that although the encyclopaedia is free it has its rules and principles which are recommended to respect in order to be effective:

 

- You can edit anonymously, but it is better to register and to use a pseudonym

- Don't vandalise pages, which means don't delete or change things abruptly

- Be objective in your changes. Source and discuss them if they are not just minor (formatting, spelling errors etc.)

- Pay attention to the copy rights and don't upload images etc. that are not explicitly free for use.

- Don't revert changes more than three times in 24 hours. Users who break the 3RR (3 Reverts Rule) are blocked temporarily and in case of repetition indefinitely.

 

So please, don't leave space for polisarian activists. The more you participate the more you country is presented in a fair and objective manner.

 

Thank you.
