[Wikipedia-l] Community building and EL

[Poor, Edmund W]

The best way to draw someone into your community is to go out of your way to please them. Shower them with gifts (as Jacob did with Esau). Try to speak to them in their own language, even if your attempts make native toddlers seem eloquent in comparison.

If we English-speaking wikipedians offer free help to those speaking other languages, what's not to like?
