That is a rather flippant remark here.  Of course there are plenty of 
Chileans working in Wikipedia.... likely even on the English language 
edition.

I'm suggesting that you shouldn't be so callous as to think everybody 
who makes a remark like Alejandro is completely familiar with the 
organization of the Wikimedia Foundation and even ways that they may be 
able to contribute.  Remarks like this are not only not helpful, but 
demonstrate a decidedly hostile attitude toward new users and people 
outside of the select few who are regular posters here.

I'm not exactly sure what the status of Wikimedia Chile may be, as the 
closest chapter I can find is the one in Argentina.  If somebody has 
taken the time to even discover the existence of this list and post a 
question in the first place, it shows they have quite a bit of 
self-initiative, particularly considering that Alejandro may not even 
speak English as his primary language.  I sure hope this isn't a typical 
attitude of those who post on this list in a regular fashion.
