I agree with Oldak about "elitist concerns as to the origin of the language".
I apologize if my concern that the Wikimedia Foundation, the charitable organization we volunteer for, be used for significant, educational purposes, as it is intended, appears elitist. That does not fit my definition of elitism, however, and bandying about the term is just an ad hominem distraction. This is the most important point. There is a reason that the MuppetWiki (a fine project, expanding rapidly) belongs on a non-WMF site like Wikia.
Huh? Since when does "education" preclude the Klingon language? How do you define "significant"? How is the suggestion of elitism a distriction? I consider it a problem for Wikimedia that should be solved. When elitism results in the closure of harmless projects that could potentially bring more people to Wikimedia (and maximise the use of our content), it is a problem for the Foundation.
