When he says "The result is what is important" (09:32, 6 May 2006 (UTC)) (see link 1 below), Arnomane seems to be following a philosophy likely to be disrespectful of individuals, risking to condone humiliation as a routine practice. "The principle that the end justifies the means is in individualist ethics regarded as the denial of all morals. In collectivist ethics it becomes necessarily the supreme rule." (Friedrich A. Hayek, link 2 ) On that same Template_talk:Lang-mp page, at 14:43, (UTC), Mormegil uses the worded "forced" (albeit with quotation marks) to express what happened. One shouldn't be forced (with or without quotation marks). I am convinced that a smile is more powerful than Arnomane's stick, because whenever I asked (in Spanish, with a smile) for a translation on the Spanish village pump of Commons, or on the Japanese village pump of the Japanese Wikipedia, or on the Chinese village pump of the Chinese Wikipedia, I found everytime people who provided the needed translations. I think "notafish"'s idea(3) of "launching a massive translation rally"is a good idea. I am ready to go to every village pump of every concerned Wikipedia, use babelfish or Google language tool when I can, or leave a message in French or English when I can't, and recruit a voluntary translator for the Main Page in each language. It is also possible to use all our connections to people who know someone, who know someone... who knows a given language, as Brianna (4) who says she knows someone who speaks arabic. It is also possible to use the History of the pages in the various languages to find the names of the people who wrote them. I think this is a workable alternative to Arnomane's threats, but I am fearful of implementing it in conditions that would enable Arnomane to think that his threats are showing positive results, and of going to these village pumps as a message bearer of a threat.
