Hello, Brion
Hello Takuya
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.
Hum, you are very right with language issue
But, even if this list is in english, it is the main
list, so issues discussed here are likely to impact
all wikipedias
Besides, that the french silliness with comma hunting
that has been going on for about a month, that explain
this subject being raised again. But the issue is not
new :-)
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.
Yes and no.
It is not irrelevant, for some people thrive on
monitoring the number of articles, and many
internationals are eager to go up in the rank.
For those, it is important that the numbering
technique be the same, for the comparison to stay
valid.
On the other hand, it would be interesting that
discussions go in parallele in pump (of coffee shop
:-)) for everyone to feel involved
My feeling is that counting technique should maybe be
related to the language family.
