Funny you should interpret me that way. I think my point is twofold; namely Wikipedia is
only a reflection of its sources, and that it's sources show an odd set of
demographics no matter how you slice and dice the data.

The horror! Those Italians, Dutch and French should really be ashamed of all the unjust
advantage they amassed in centuries of abusive domination of the western arts.
More seriously speaking, I have no en.wiki or art competence to judge the editorial
activity here described, but watch yourself when you use expressions which make it /sound/
like advocacy for some sort of affirmative action for underrepresented painters, or
rationing of arts' tastes, or arts export quotas as for milk. You may do damage to
your cause.
