The French stuff poses a bit of dilemma for me. I don't know what it
is, really. If it's French stuff *about wikipedia*, then it's fine.
And we can be pretty liberal about how we construe that, too. General
speculation on the future of free content, for example, would be fine.
Whether or not there will be warning before deletion
is an information probably important enough to inform
non-english wikipedians. Please ? Anthere
Sure, that sounds good. But I'm not likely to delete stuff that I
can't read. That's not necessarily a good thing.
I encourage people to keep meta on-topic. It's primarily for
discussion of wikipedia itself. In the past, we copied some POV
essays over there, but that's gotten out of hand so I'd like to
discourage it.
The main principle here is that we're not a free homepage service, and
if people want free homepage service for their political theorizing or
whatever, then (a) there's always Geocities and (b) if someone REALLY
wants it, I can find space for it on a non-wikipedia domain.
