That's perfectly right. And that's why I think that some native
speakers
should
express their interest in starting their edition
of wikipedia
before we do anything.
What are you talking about? Wikipedia has now exactly that mechanism
for starting new Wikipedias: 5 speakers of language must express their
interest, then the application is discussed in this list during a
month or more -- and only after that test the new language appears.

AFAIK, this is just the *proposed* policy for new wikipedias, not the
current one.
