If the main problem here is the emphasis on English language solutions and the mention of problems with articles that only concern En.wikipedia, perhaps those speaking other languages could generate proposals on any relevant lists and then bring them here or to the relevant wikimedia pages or other forums or individuals, whatever/whoever they might be.
Ah! This sounds brilliant! Will this also apply to English speakers from the United States and United Kingdom? These individuals can speak to those in their national communities, generate relevant proposals on relevant lists (WM-DC, WM-NYC, the American cultures list) and bring them here or to the relevant Wikimedia pages, or other forums or individuals, whatever/whoever they might be?
This seems like an unfair burden to place on men and women in our community from outside the United States and United Kingdom. You're proposing barriers to entry and participation for potentially valuable contributors. Is this list only intended for Americans and Poms?
