Maybe it is worth the effort to investigate if we can come to a single

Yes indeed. The citation/footnote coding format for different language
editions of Wikipedia is not the same, not to mention the other Wikimedia
projects.

Arguably of more importance than the loss of unique (1 specimen only) 78
records are the loss of unique newspapers and political leaflets, which are
legion. The latter naturally had a lower survival rate than mass

How do you envision the bilingual office hours to be set up? Should there
