however, at the same time, we could implement a change in the way domain names are used, that has been discussed several times in the past:
- http://wikipedia.org/en/article/Main_Page - http://wikipedia.org/en/edit/Main_Pageas well as being nicer from a technical perspective, i think this reduces the disconnection between different languages of the same project. so, i'd like to propose that we move to the last form of URLs at some point.
does anyone have comments on or object to this change?

Please do not change anything like this whit out an very serious project wide consultation about this. Only a posting and some responds on this mailing list (or any other list) should not result in such a very important change.
I, and i strongly believe there are many others, see "Wikipedia" as the global name for all the Wikipedias but have there own home Wikipedia. Because every language Wikipedia is editorial independent and has it own community and the identify there Wikipedia whit there own domain. The are proud of there own Wikipedia.
It is not because you are part of a bigger community that you should lose your identity. This is a very sensitive an important thing. There are other things to consider besides the technical side of it.
