* CPOV does not exist (as a official policy)
* Absit injuria verbis en.wiki is chaotic  (it is, sorry ) and there's
no valid logical proof which say something like:

"is ok for en.wiki so must be ok for all wikies"

No. You are thinking like imperialist here: the point is *not* good
ol' time when man was a man and anglosaxon lived in their country and
"we" speak our languags. They was saying (they remove) that their
pourpose as wikipedians is fight diffusion of english as worldwide
language.

If you are still thinking that this is coherent with wikipedia
something wrong is happening here.

> English Wikipedia has stronger statements about freedom of knowledge

That statements are WMF/wikipedia/wikipedians official POV. Sorry but
is different.

Thats why I think that lang come should be closed or, at least
reformed with different people: this is non sense in my POV.
