It'll be  amusing when US contributors are a minority on en:, they'll
find out how UK  contributors sometimes feel ;-p





The real problem is the possibility  of English-as-a-second-language speakers 
(or third or fourth language)  becoming a majority of users on en.wiki and 
the impact that this would have  on the basic quality of writing. It has already 
becoming an issue in  some areas of content related to India, where the prose 
requires inordinate  cleanup just to make it legible. 
 
To be clear, I am *not* saying that these contributions should be  
discouraged--only that they come at some cost.
