Actually, no. I have asked a question on the Hungarian Wikipedia in
English and been politely answers. I know from playing BatMUD for
years that almost everyone in Finland is fluent in English and would
generally not get their nose out of joint should someone (on a talk
page) made a comment in English. I also know (from playing BatMUD)
that a tiny minority might use it as an excuse to express their
"Puuh." Anyway, I don't see a problem in occasional conversations in
Turkish or Farsi. After they settle whatever issue they have with
each other they can bring it back in English for the rest of us.

What a crock. If you and I went to another
language's
wiki and started writing comments in only English,
don't you think there would be objections?
