With all due respect, if you believe something is an issue and that people can help rectify it, it's probably not the best idea to single them out for the blame when they have had no part in shaping the situation. If you clarified what exactly the issue is with regard to the project in question, people might actually be able to investigate your complaint and see what can be done.<br>

Great idea. It will not be ready for Wikimania in Haifa, this year,<br>
but I just added to my list of case studies: "The crusaders against<br>
education in the Brazilian Wikipedia." Right now it is an unfinished<br>
case because the crusade is still raging at full throttle in the<br>
Brazilian Wikipedia, thanks to... YOU. That's right, YOU. It is all<br>
happening under your very noses, using the resources that the<br>
Wikimedia Foundation makes available to the gang that runs the<br>
Brazilian Wikipedia. A word of warning, also, to all the donors to<br>
the Wikimedia Foundation whose money is unwittingly being used to<br>
support that big sham called Portuguese Wikipedia. Sounds dramatic,<br>
exaggerated, overblown? I wouldn't believe it myself if I were not<br>
there, right on top of the list of those blocked to infinite for<br>
daring, for trying such foolish endeavor. My worst sin, I'm very<br>
sorry to say: being a Portuguese university professor trying to run a<br>
successful higher education project in a Wikipedia dominated by<br>
Brazilian highschoolers. In the mean time, have fun in Haifa, patting<br>
each other on the back for a job well done.<br>
