Just speaking as one small editor (and user! I read as well as writing!) primarily in the Esperanta Vikipedio (though I've also made some contributions to others, probably more to Swahili than anything else besides English), with reference to Tim Starling's statements, I will be less fervently supportive of Wikipedia and Wikimedia in general if proposed Wikipedias that have the level of support Ladino, Neapolitan and Waray-Waray have are not activated. I don't know much about the innards of Wikipolicymaking, but I do have some idea what effect this "stagnation" or whatever you want to call it will have on my loyalties and interest level. And I'm probably not alone among those of us who do not spend all our days posting to this list. ;-) Haruo
