Barring some major collapse Wikipedia will soon have a major international
presence on the internet. However we need to be cautious to not let our
mouth outrun our gun. Soon means 5 or 10 years.

When a really big bully pushes you, you may
try to reason with him first. Perhaps you can bribe him, or you can hope

But that's what all the other kids do, and that's why the bully has his
power in the first place. And if you grant him that power, then he will
use it and still abuse you. If at that point you are worried about the
bully's "sensitivities", you are already a slave at heart.
Sometimes you have to push back.
In other words you need a bigger and better gang to out-bully the
bullies. :-)
