In response to Sabine,
I think that saying that people can make their own wiki somewhere else is not a good thing. Wikipedia is already established, and the more regional languages we offer, the richer the encyclopedia becomes. Just transferring languages to Wikicities won't work, because over there, those certain Wikipedias stop becoming a free encyclopedias and disintegrate into something a bit more than community forums, often not respecting NPOV. It's sort of what happened with the Enciclopedia Libre episode...
In fact, I think the isolation of Toki Pona and Klingon from the Wikipedia community are both negative precedents that shouldn't be repeated again. It is exactly this attitude that I am worried about, which consists of two points:
1. That languages which aren't used predominantly be a certain population aren't important and can be treated as "second-class", just because they don't help in the narrow goal of making an encyclopedia accessible to all. 2. That users of these languages must "prove themselves" somehow that their Wikipedia is "worthy"
By the way, how do you get cascading replies? I'm using Yahoo Mail... is it possible?

"Well what stops a person to set up an own wiki and just start writing if it is not possible to do this within wikipedia? Who knows me, excactly knows that if I really want something I get it - well if someone really wants something he/she can get it - but: he/she must make facts and not only words."
