Hi Rowan
Thank you very much to you personally. Your message did really comfort me last week.
But I did find this matter really absurd: The administration of Wikipedia looks as a really terrible giant animal and to occupy too much a lot of people.
This forum is alone a surprising kind to loose the time...
I don't give up and realize without discussion with a lot of people and loosing of time a dictionary and all my other projects concerning old, menaced and artificial languages at the new anarchopedia. I did create French, German main pages, Spanish will follow in the next hours, and Interlingue, Solresol, Frater and more will follow in the next days.All that is new. I have to rectify a lot of text errors in a second time but it exists now. I is a good work for a short week where I have to go to my professional occupations.
I did observe different problems in the approach of the things at Wikipedia and I work at anarchopedia that this don't appears in the new project. I think my technical approach of dictionary better and start for this reason a lot of languages myself. My first word, the first entry in the new multi language dictionary was of course a word in "a", naturally the word "anarchy". And if you compare the content of 2 dictionaries you can see a completely other view of our world. Anarchy is not conform to the bad definition in Wikipedia... At the letter "I" I will introduce in the next days as first word the word "idealism" ;-)
Less bureaucracy (be quite: I didn't redefine in the first time at the letter "b" the word "bureaucracy" - "birth" is really more important!)
Je veux remercier très spécialement Anthere, mon fier concitoyen, pour son intervention contre mes petits efforts anarchistes (je ne pensais pas le moins du monde à une telle définition de mes efforts il y a seulement 8 jours) car sans cette petite querelle vraiment juste au bon moment, je n'aurais jamais fait connaissance à cette date du projet des autres anarchistes! Mes visions de mon pays dans le continent qui l'héberge et surtout mes visions du rôle de mon continent en tant que réalité politique et sociale ne semble pas être totalement équivalentes aux vôtres!
Perhaps is this the decisive reason why a Wikipedia can't be enough.
Yours truly
François

Francois, please don't give up so easily. If you truly believe that this is something worth doing and encouraging, it should take more than a few people saying "maybe" rather than "yes" to make you give up. Nobody here has said "no" to your proposals; if you think you can make this work, then have courage and try to make it work, even when it seems difficult. I will try to address and discuss some of your current concerns below.
