You definition of "success" is admirably vague. Does "America" have to
survive forever to be a "success" in promoting human freedom (such that
there eventually be no more need for a particular nation called the "U.S.A")
?  The defunct-ness of a thing is not an indication of its failure. Take
your ancestors for example.

And yes, it was originally an international mailing list, IIRC, albeit there
were few international wikis then, few people used it for such, wrote in
English anyway, and in any case IIRC the first fork from wikipedia-l was
en-l largely to separate the former for global wiki usage.
