Wikipedia:Goings-on/June 20, 2004

Goings-on in the week starting Sunday June 20 2004 Our Prix Ars Electronica Golden Nica for Digital Communities was officially accepted by Danny on Wednesday in New York City, at the mini-PAE award ceremony held there. It is a beautiful golden statue of Nike. Quoth Danny in his acceptance speech, "Wikipedia shows that everyone can be a learner, but also that everyone can be a teacher too... In five years I want more people around the world in more languages and of all ages to become teachers and learners." m:Board vote poll has been started En Wiktionary case-sensitivity vote — should the English Wiktionary switch to case sensitivity?
