A few thoughts: 1) We do not need more simple language Wikipedias. We need to make our current Wikipedias simplier. Yes I know it is an uphill battle but we just need more people working on it.
2) It is the editors of content who have the greater authority. Editors are somewhat curtained by what sources are avaliable. As much published material is US centric and the US government releases nearly everything they produce under an open license this perspective has the upper hand. I would tell Jean Marie Cavada that maybe if France / the EU was also to publish everything they do under open licenses that would allow the European perspective to gain greater promience. Maybe they could also convince the World Health Organization of the importance of open licenses. -- James Heilman MD, CCFP-EM, Wikipedian Starting July 2015 I am a board member of the Wikimedia Foundation My emails; however, do not represent the official position of the WMF The Wikipedia Open Textbook of Medicine www.opentextbookofmedicine.com _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
