Interesting viewpoint, Emmanuel! I am always fascinated to know what others
think I might be interested in, even if the "other" is just a bot. Like Sam
I was delighted, and I might even be prompted to do a translation (though
not one of the ones they suggested, but an article which I made myself and
is in the same general area). I disagree by the way, that each Wikipedia
has to decide on their own what is "encyclopedia worthy" in that language.
I think the projects need to start trusting each other more and be open to
*aggressive* translation efforts as a way to educate new (multi-lingual)
editors, and also to promote a neutral point of view. Let's wikibomb
everybody aggressively with translation suggestions!

I have received this kind of email too. "No",*this is not delightful at
all*. This kind of email bores me, like many other Wikipedians (see

).
AFAIK I don't have asked to received that kind of email, and the
definition of what you do is "spamming" (and please don't answer to this
by
talking about the "opt-out" option, "opt-in" is the respectful way
of
doing). Can you please stop this immediately?
FYI, the Wikipedia in French has an article evaluation program (like on
Wikipedia in English) based on wikiprojects, so honestly I think they
already know pretty well where are the weakness without the help of a
robot:
