[Wikipedia-l] Non-English Wikipedias

Sat Nov 2 14:34:38 UTC 2002

Hi all,

Cunctator moved 'Wikipedia:Non-English Wikipedias' to 'Wikipedia:Multilingual coordination'.

One might think that there are no Wikipedias in other languages anymore.
Are we destinied to be just a division of Wikipedia for Multilingual
coordination ?

It seems to be rather unfair to people involved in Wikipedias in other
languages.

1. some contributors of Wikipedias in other languages have put a lot of
   effort and passion into creating "their" Wikipedias. They may or may not
   care much about the English WP
2. Non-English Wikipedias have only recently been given more attention by
   Wikipedia community at large which is dominated by English speaking
   crowd
3. we always wanted help and coordination but we felt put aside a little

I suppose there is a general consensus in non-English Wikipedias about the current policies and plans towards ONE Wikipedia in different languages but
I don't think we can agree to "the smaller have to subdue" rule.

Regards,
Kpjas
