Call me a centrist prick, but I've always thought it would be much
more benificial to learn a common language than it is to adapt content
to that language.
Either you stick with your home language and get a small Wikipedia
without much content, or you learn a common language with vastly more
content and fact-checking. You not only loose out on Wikipedia, but a
vast majority of the world's knowlege and interaction.
Am I the only one that has a problem with having 100 Wikipedias? Look
at the massive effort it takes to just maintain one decent English
Wikipedia article. Then multiply that. I see it as a massive
duplication of effort (a phrase I seem to use often around here...).
Maybe I'm just a self-centered American with a superiority complex.
Someone tell me I'm wrong (I'm serious, if I'm incorrect or being a
dick tell me)
