"Let all the pretty flowers bloom" Toytoy.
I think Mao said something like that once.
The way I see Wikipedia is just one Encyclopedia with many language versions. To deny other languages on the basis of not enough members contributing, or not enough fast growth is to deny a voice to the few who when added up all together make up a big part of this encyclopedic project.
Let all the pretty flowers bloom, it adds to the beauty of the garden, to take these away makes it look like a bed of silk flowers, pretty to look at from a distance, but up close the spirit is dead. Let the minor languages coexist with the others, each language brings a shade of color, and especially, there's beauty of expression and culture that can only be expressed in one's own mother tongue.
