Is there rule against discussing articles on this
mailing list (knowing full
well that not all Wikipedians subscribe to this
list?)
Is there any rule that forbids any discussion of an
article anywhere except
on that article's Talk page?
If the answer to the above is "no," then what
possible objection can there be
to non-English discussions on a talk page? These
discussions are _more_
public and accessible than _any_ of the above.
Well, for one thing, it's rude. And it's especially
troublesome when one of the people involved is a
sysop.
