Hoi,
I am sure that you and I have learned to create new articles. In the
usability study, people who were completely new to MediaWiki were asked to

Since when has Esperanto been a global language? It was a failed

anyone learning it except for the fun of it (if you enjoy that sort of

Hoi,
When you are to build a system that connects Wikipedia / Wiktionary etc
articles to Commons, you are building a system that relies on the articles
to exist in the languages you want to get the data from. So it is restricted
