this is an english rule. It was discussed on the
english list, by english people. Not us. Does your
wiki only follow english rules ? You don't have
your
own ?
I might be confused, but I thought wikipedia-l was a
global
Wikipedia list, not just a list for the English
Wikipedia.
I'm a member of wikipedia-l, intlwiki-l, wikitech-l
and the German
list. I don't speak French.
The problem is clearly that the main list is having
two different missions, english issues et global
issues.
That�s where I think there is misunderstanding. For
most english, the main list is in reality the english
list. For that's the place they discuss english
policy.
But unfortunately, that's also the place we discuss
global community issues. It would have no sense for
example to discuss .com ->.org *only* on the
international list. Because *all* wikipedians are
involved. Not only the international. And also because
officially, the inter list is supposed to deal with
inter issues only.
When you really go to the point, the international
list has no sense, because the point is not to discuss
how international wikis are involved in the global
scheme, but how *all* the wikis are involved in the
global scheme.
I suggested to change the name of the main list
because either it's the *main* list (ie for all
wikipedias) or it's the en.list to discuss english
policy issues.
As long as that list will work at two levels, there
will be confusions about what is specifically english
and what is global. And there will be confusion that
the english policy is the one that must followed by
all the other wikis
- the main list should become the en.list, to make it
clear the list on only for english issues
- as the other wikis grow, each, if needed, set up a
de.list, fr.list...
- the international list, maybe renamed the main list,
deal with global issues
