Hoi,
Why would it help what the English language wikipedia community thinks 
about fair use or non commercial content? The problem is that too many 
subjects are raised already; the amount of mail to read is also almost 
too much. The only thing that may make the English language wikipedia 
communities "special" is that it is big. This makes the problem worse as 
there will be more people expressing opinions without making any real 
difference to what is at issue.
Thanks,
