Could I remind people not to lose sight of the fact that "international
participation" is very strong in en:, not only with editors from the USA,
England, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa (where en; is the
'native' language) but also India and, frankly, nearly every other country
around the world.

one cannot equate "en:" with "English-speaking-countries-only" (and, of
course, vice-versa.)
