A common phenomenon that affects all projects. Most of us like to contribute without being trapped on a merry-go-round of bickering.
This is more likely if key policies like NPOV are *not* translated. If we can agree on which parts of our policies are not negotiable, we can make sure that they are in place. One of these policies can even include instructions on what to do if your wiki doesn't follow the Wikimedia spirit (contact stewards etc.)
Maybe that would have prevented the total shutdown that is taking place on the japanese wiktionary.
By the way... Ec and the others... what do you think of the shutdown of ja wiktionary ?
I am asking the question, because if I put in line
* shut down of wiktionary - after vote and decision by the japanese community only. No opposition clearly voiced after the shut down.
* opening of wikinews - after decision by Erik, with 5 editors support and against french community opinion - clear complaints after the opening.
* prospective opening of chinese wikinews - a poll made on meta show a lack of clarity on whether the decision should be made 1) with 5 editors or 2) with a global vote or 3) with a chinese vote
So, the least we can say, is that in terms of opening projects, or closing projects, is that THERE IS NO CONSENSUS ON HOW IT SHOULD BE DONE :-)
