[WikiEN-l] Re: Discussion on English Wikipedia in languages other than English

[Fred Bauder]

Actually, no. I have asked  a question on the Hungarian Wikipedia in  
English and been politely answers. I know from playing BatMUD for  
years that almost everyone in Finland is fluent in English and would  
generally not get their nose out of joint should someone (on a talk  
page) made a comment in English. I also know (from playing BatMUD)  
that a tiny minority might use it as an excuse to express their  
"Puuh." Anyway, I don't see a problem in occasional conversations in  
Turkish or Farsi. After they settle whatever issue they have with  
each other they can bring it back in English for the rest of us.
