So I guess my question is: do people think it is likely that Wikipedias in languages that are spoken almost exclusively by people of one particular national background can ever hope to achieve anything even remotely resembling the NPOV on the Wikipedias in languages that are spoken by a wide range of people? Is having contributors from a wide range of backgrounds a necessary prerequisite for NPOV (as I suggest)?
Very interesting insight! But since you touch on philosophical issues, I recommend you copy your post and put in on meta (otherwise this thread
will
get lost in the mailing list archives).
I'll respond there.
Good call, mav. And yes, good insight, Delirium... though I think most, if not all, languages will work themselves out in time, some of the smallest ones, spoken by a few people passionate about identity, will take the longest.
