very naive not to have realised, all this time, that the
so-called "English Wikipedia" was actually the "American Wikipedia".

I do think that the early history of WP is quite a good example of why
we need historians, not just more self-serving memoirs. Even then I
doubt we'll fully understand why things turned out the way they did.
