Hello, Brion
Unless a better count system is proposed, I will replace
the comma check
with a greater-than-zero-size check within twelve hours.
You have a good point. Every one knows current counting system is silly and need overwhole. I have no objection at all.
Only my concern is that we should not make a decision in the place where people can't participate. Yes, every one can discuss here but only if they speak English. It seems most of wikipedians in ja.wikipedia knows almost nothing about what is going on the administration stage like here or village pump in en.wikipedia.
If you are talking about only en.wikipedia (since this mailing list is in English), forgive me about my misunderstanding.
My suspecion is that we should stop using universal system for all of editions. Different languages need different coordination. The couting artciels should depend on the language of edition. Therefore, the discussion here should be irrelevant and we should move this to each wikipedia's village pump.
