I think it is *really* misplaced. Really. Really.
Really.
But I didnot remove it myself...
Dude, it's a wiki! :)
just to point out how badly misplaced it was...
I have no problem with it being there -- small and tasteful alongside
the UK, Irish, Canadian, Australian, New Zealandese, Belizean, etc
flags, just as similar paragraphs for the other languages could have
flags representing the countries where those languages are spoken.
Until somebody gets around to doing that or thinks of something better,
I've yanked the unnecessarily large stars & stripes image.
One disturbing
thing is that Edgar still views the
English Wikipedia as a solely American enterprise,
rather than an international effort.
yeah, really strange, no ? He probably is the only one
to think this
Oddly enough, I've noticed that the German wikipedia's links to the
English wikipedia call it the "International Wikipedia". I guess Austria
and Switzerland don't count as international to the Germans? ;)
