Hubert, The fact is that the English word "violence" has a quite different etymology, and a much narrower meaning, than the German word "Gewalt", which historically also means "control", or even "administrative competence".
The scope of the English article is indeed appropriate to the English word "violence", because that word lacks several shades of meaning that the German word "Gewalt" has.

Gewalt ist nicht unbedingt in gleicher Form Gewalt. to say it simply: hitting someones head, to shoot s.o. is in en: WP the primary part of the article (this is very simplifying, indeed). The German article is a far greater degree of philosophical and sociological issues of violence. This difference alone makes it clear that a single definition of what violence is or may be, and how it manifests itself in images, can not even enter. Quite frankly, I do not want that maybe people who are socialized to a far greater degree in a culture of violence than other cultures can be categorized by images of tens of thousands to impose his concept of violence. Even though we are all Wikipedians, even within the German Wikipedia, there are significant cultural differences. And violence is - contrary to religion and sexuality - just the smaller problem. h Am 10.10.2011 12:22, schrieb David Gerard: > On 10 October 2011 11:17, Hubert <hubert.la...@gmx.at> wrote: >> Am 09.10.2011 16:35, schrieb Anneke Wolf: > >>> http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gewalt > >> dear Anneke, >> +1 >> and see the basic difference and the disaccordance in understanding and >> meaning of violence. >> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violence > > > I don't understand what point is being made here. > > > - d. > > _______________________________________________ > foundation-l mailing list > foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org > Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l > _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
