[Wikimedia-l] Re: The Wikimedia Foundation Research Award of the Year - Call for Nominations

[Galder Gonzalez Larrañaga]

Hello,

I wonder why a multicultural project, whose major strength is in the multilingual approach asks for a research to be on English.

"* The publication must be available in English."

I'm currently researching about Wikimedia, and I'm doing it in Basque language. I hope to publish in a couple of years my PhD, and I hope to do it in Basque. I have read good research in other languages, mainly Spanish, French and Italian, that are languages I can understand. There should be great research in German and Russian, I hope there are good peer reviewed articles in Arabic or Chinese. I wonder if someone is researching in Guarani, Odia, Xhosa or Nynorsk. I have personally met researchers working on Mayan languages.

Narrowing research to the language of the Empire is against our principles, our strategy and our vision.

I hope there is a change in this point.

Sincerely,

Galder.
