Hi all,

Actually, I moved 'Wikipedia:International Wikipedia' to
'Wikipedia:Multilingual coordination'.
I renamed the "Non-English Wikipedias" link on the Main Page (which pointed
to Wikipedia:International Wikipedia through a redirect) to "Coordination
between languages".
One might think that there are no Wikipedias in other
languages anymore.
I hope not. This is to put every language on a level playing field.
Are we destinied to be just a division of Wikipedia
for Multilingual
coordination ?
It seems to be rather unfair to people involved in Wikipedias in other
languages.
1. some contributors of Wikipedias in other languages have put a lot of
effort and passion into creating "their" Wikipedias. They may or may not
care much about the English WP
2. Non-English Wikipedias have only recently been given more attention by
Wikipedia community at large which is dominated by English speaking
crowd
3. we always wanted help and coordination but we felt put aside a little
The phrase "Multilingual coordination" means "coordination between
languages", exactly what you say people want.
I suppose there is a general consensus in non-English
Wikipedias about the
current policies and plans towards ONE Wikipedia in different languages but
I don't think we can agree to "the smaller have to subdue" rule.
I certainly was not trying to imply that. I don't think the smaller have to
subdue.
Are you upset because I made the change, and not someone else?
