It doesn't say that, Béria. It seems to say that, ideally, the
successful applicant will not have English as a first language, i.e.
will not be from most of Canada, the United States, Australia, New
Zealand, England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Barbados, Trinidad and
Tobago, and several more.
That rules out a huge number of Wikimedians (most, in fact) just
because of their birthplace and culture.
The ad says: "Demonstrated ability to work (speak, read, write at a
professional level) effectively in a language other than English
(ideally as a native speaker)"
Not quite sure where you're coming from there. Today I've interacted with
about 60 professional colleagues. They're all Canadians but I'd venture to
guess that at least a third would consider themselves native speakers of at
least one other language.
