Hoi, English is used as a "lingua franca". A lingua franca is a language that functions as a language that is understood by most. Again, do not assume on this list that the en.wikipedia is the default. This is only true on the mailing list for the English language Wikipedia Thanks, GerardM
Plenty of people discuss the English Wikipedia on the generic mailing list. Most people using other language projects specify which one they are talking about. It's generally only people talking about the English Wikipedia that forget to specify, thus it is a good assumption.
