Well,

If someone (e.g. Tinu) is a English Wikipedian, it'll be a lie to say "I Edit Wikipedia in Malayalam" :)

So, Wikipedians will be saying "I Edit Wikipedia" or will be explaining (which will be answering the questions mentioned in http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Subha_WMF/sandbox1) in the language they primarily edit, so, if you edit English Wikipedia, say I edit Wikipedia in English.

Any more confusions? Please ask Noopur!

it would be good to specify 'in English'. Not everyone might know for
certain that the spoken language is English.
