I do not get well this argument. Florida is not

OUR wiki. Improving our hardware situation is helping all of us. When

than others ? Explain please
The English Wikis use a greater portion of the available resources.
That means the new servers would see a similar proportion of their
resources used for serving up English pages.
Or, put another way, an across-the-board 10% increase in the number of
pages served translates into a far larger number for the English Wikis
than anyone else.
I don't really agree that it's a very good argument (after all,
everybody would still see the same percentage performance increase)
but it does mean that the English Wikipedia will see more absolute
benefit from the new servers than anyone else.

I think there is a misunderstanding because the European proxies will mirror
the WHOLE of the Wikimedia projects: all projects in all languages, not only
some European languages. And because many European people also read and
contribute to English projects, even if English is not their mother tongue.
