Why not instead tell people to focus their energy

Because as smart as I thought you were, you still don't see recognize

spoken language in the world.
"as smart as I thought you were" - am I supposed to interpret that
non-maliciously?
And I still don't see the problem with having less than 20k articles.
Every Wikipedia will always have less than _______ articles, and will
you always be worrying about that? When zh.wikipedia has 1 trillion
articles, will you be worrying that it doesn't have two trillion?
Again, it is extremely selfish of you to do this. And supposedly, if
second-language speakers are included for both English and Chinese,
and Chinese is limited to those literate in Baihua (ie, excluding
illiterates), English exceeds Chinese by far.
And since you consistently assail the character of
those who disagree
with you, and maliciously reinterpret peoples' comments, I'm done with
with you.
Again, I don't see how your comments can be interpreted as anything
other than telling people "quit agitating for your own Wikipedia. edit
ours instead!!!" which is very selfish and inconsiderate of others.
And if you're done with me, bear in mind that that does not mean I
will no longer respond to YOUR messages.
