That's incredibly poor logic. Only the English Wikipedia is going to be ten
years old on January 15, 2011. If people around the world want to throw
parties for the English Wikipedia's tenth anniversary, they're of course
free to. But that doesn't change the facts, even if people will be partying
in six of seven continents. Don't be silly.
