Let me ask you this, Anthere. When you are interviewed by the French media on What wikipedia is (and not about the international nature of the project), do your interviewers always go out of thier way to include non-French wikipedians, like Radio Open Source went out of their way to find non-U.S. wikipedians?

Did you miss the part where they talked about the Afrikaans wikipedia; see http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ADewet&diff=0&o...
You insulted the program for being ''exclusively interested in the english speaking part of our project''. I don't think this is true.
Insulted ???
I certainly did not insulted the program. If you felt I insulted the programm, or if you felt I insulted the interviewees, that was certainly not my intention. I said the interviews were good.
I mostly tried to just give my feelings. One after the others, most programs only talk about one part of the project, and when they choose to talk about another, they choose to represent a very minor language. Again, I have nothing against a minor language, I was part of one once. But I just do not feel happy about that. And reading your answer, I do feel not only my concern is addressed but you do not even consider I have the "right" to be concerned. I had hoped we could talk like adults, without resorting to big words.
Hmmmm, right.
Finally, I will keep that big knot in my stomach. It was an error to just even mention the issue. All is well. I will not mention the topic any more. There is no issue. Issue closed.
You faulted the program for being "exclusively interested in the english speaking part of our project''.
This is not true. They went out of their way to find Wikipedians outside the U.S. and involved in different languages. (see my previous link) Even though the focus of the article wasn't about the international nature of the project.
