Well, that's wrong too.
That way lies segregation, not integration.
If you aren't Hebrew Wikipedian, why should you
have anything to say
about that ?
For the same reason that writers on the Hebrew Wikipedia are welcome to
get involved on this discussion list, or on any other wikipedia for that
matter.
Second, it's many individual Wikipedias, not one
Wikipedia with many
languages, and it's going to stay that way.
It is many wikipedias in different languages. That still means we should
present a unified face to the world.
We are regrettably partitioned into many groups which have trouble
intercommunicating. (perhaps we should all learn Esperanto?)
It may seem like a small thing, but if they all look the same, then they
all look like home to me, even if I don't understand the words -- and I
hope everyone else can feel that way too :-)
It saddens me every time I see the da: and the sv: logos that have the
country flags overlaid -- it feels like stepping abroad (and Wikipedia
should not be about nations, only languages). I go to the Japanese pedia
and it's just like walking into a different room where people are
talking in a different language.
