Eventually, of course. But it certainly depends on
the particular
people involved. If the sole administrator is doing a good job and is
actively working to get more people involved, then why not? Better to
have an experienced wikipedian assisting there than to abandon them.
He doesn't appear to be "actively working to get more people
involved". Bombo is not a more experienced Wikipedian than Themalau or
Moyogo, as far as I can tell, and as I already noted he can speak
nearly no Lingala and seems to enjoy posting long articles entirely in
French.
The point is, I see no reason for *us* to interfere.
If the other users
have a complaint, then that's a different matter.
So, I'm not important enough? How are other users different from me? I
am a user on the Lingala Wikipedia, and frankly I'm a bit insulted by
that remark.
I'm not thinking of them. I'm thinking of
newcomers. Again, it seems
fairly likely to me that there are fluent French speakers who are weak
in Lingala who would be happy to come and help out. Having the dual
interface for a little while seems more or less fine to me. When they
want to fix it, I'm sure they will. Why are you bothered about it?
Who is this "they"? Three out of the four recently active users seem
to not want it bilingual, but we don't have sysop capabilities. Bombo
does.
And the same is true for many other languages -- English speakers
wanting to help out on the Irish or Scottish Gaelic Wikipedias, German
speakers wanting to help out on the Plattduutsch Wikipedia, French
speakers wanting to help on the Breton Wikipedia, Spanish speakers
wanting to help on the Basque Wikipedia... yet none of them has a
bilingual user interface. Why?
Ok, well, I'm quite sure they'll do as they
see fit. Trust them.
What about what I do, and what I see fit? As a Lingala Wikipedian, I
don't understand why my opinion should count for less than any other
user's.
