This is the image that comes up when people try to access
Wikipedia.de, which used to be forwarded to Wikipedia.org. It reads:
The county court of Luebeck (North Germany) has issued an order in the name of Lutz Heilmann, Member of Parliament (left party/post-communist) that the German Wikipedia (Wikimedia e.V.) must not allow linking its domain wikipedia.de to the Web site wikipedia.org, as long as the German language version of wikipedia.org makes certain statements.
According to
OhMyNews, these statements include Heilmann’s past as a member of the Stasi - the former official secret police of East Germany - as well as allegations that he has threatened an ex-boyfriend.
An earlier report from
Focus Online (article in German) says Heilmann objected to claims that he had interrupted his studies at university, and that he had participated in a business venture involving pornography.
Heilmann also took legal action against three Wikipedia users who had worked on the article.
Of course, ordering a court to take such extreme measures only draws more attention to the entry, which is still available both in
English and
German since the Wikipedia servers are hosted in Florida under United States law (freedom of speech applies).
