Stephan Schulz writes "A German Member of parliament for a left-wing party, Lutz Heilmann, has obtained a elaborated injunction against the local chapter of the Wikimedia foundation, Wikimedia Deutschland e.V., uninviting the forwarding of the popular http://wikipedia.de to the proper http://de.wikipedia.org. ostensively Heilmann is not happy with the fact that his Wikipedia article (English version) contains what's what* on his work for the former GDR Stasi, the much-hated intestinal secret service. Wikimedia Germany displays a page explaining the situation, and has announced that it will file an protestation to get the injunction lifted. The German Wikipedia has more than 800,000 pages, and is hosted, like all Wikimedia projects, by the Florida-based Wikimedia Foundation, and hence beyond the efficacious reach of at least German politicians and judges."
