Well, respectfully I disagree, Gerard, on your view, or analysis of
the stats. Edit is used vague on our community: from writing a FA
almost alone to doing a WiiGnome task. We need both, but those two
activities require not a same amount of communication skills as well
involvement to wiki editing
So I'd like to ask in which way we keep and assure our community as
multilingual? Honestly I have been thinking this for years seriously.
Even on meta, it was not once I was accused just because I left a note
in Japanese - when I had a hardship to express my opinion enough in
English. I
Milosh, thanks for your work. Just to correct: Moksha, Erzya, Yakut

admittedly for Lak I am the only active contributor). Adyge is almost

From what i hear about this, Adyge and Kabardian may be two varieties
of a Circassian [[macrolanguage]]. Maybe someone who cares
I think people should be more flexible in their postings. It is OK to
write a message in Japanese and also in not quite perfect, or even rather
poor English. Send both. And if there is no English just use Japanese,
even on this list. We can all go to Google translate and see more or less
what it

Hoi all,
as a recent lengthy CU case on de.wp showed, there is clear evidence
that two people (a lawyer and a PR entrepeneur) working at the law
school of a university in Germany, but on outside funding, have
influenced contents of de.wp (away from a neutral point of view) on at
least two
Hi Thomas
Thanks for sharing this. We need more people like you, willing to display
our own rot! We all know why Rome collapsed - nobody would hold up a mirror
to see what had become of them.
We can't allow that to happen to us. It is bad enough that hundreds of
thousands of people out there are

One thing I find irritating and complex about our structure is the
proliferation of small wikis. Now I've no objection to the idea that
we have a wiki for every language on Earth, though where languages are
mutually intelligible such as the major dialects of English it seems
sensible to me that
Dear colleague,
What you say makes absolute sence. I have the suspicion that there was
a time, around 2009, that new activities in WMF were eager to have a
wiki of its own: Strategy, Outreach and so on. Alas, after a while of
retention, there came Ten wiki. The intention was to have a website

I couldn't agree more, now that the date has passed, so should

distinct that it would be out of scope on Meta, and combining those three

Yes, by all means, let's fold some of the different wikis back into one.
Every day I seem to bump into a new wiki which someone is expecting me to
keep track of.
The proliferation of different wikis creates confusion, frustration and
generally sub-optimal user journeys.
