Gerard,

With whom do you beg to differ?

Hoi,

I beg to differ. If anything the WMF needs to focus us more on the imbalance that exists between the fundamental bias toward English versus all other languages. For me the easiest picking is to share in the sum of the knowledge that is available to us. To get there simple goals like "a nine year old is able to find pictures in Commons" are fundamental. As it is, this is not even considered. 

Thanks,

       GerardM

And it is based on a fundamental misconception of the legally mandated role of the WMF. Everything based on this false premise, fails.

Cheers,

...considering recent discussions on Wikimania and here, this is maybe a useful opinion piece from  https:// UNDARK.org/2021/08/12/wikipedia-has-a-language-problem-heres-how-to-fix-it/ 

It is packed with good insights and while I do not agree with all this, the final sentence feels kind of brilliant: ... to achieve its stated mission to “help everyone share in the sum of all knowledge,” they might first need to create the sum of all Wikipedias.

 

Best Z. Blace
