[Foundation-l] A dangerous precedent

At least one good criteria for deciding whether a particular Wikipedia
is justified would be the existence of a community of native speakers
(community interpreted expansively). Dead language 'pedias don't seem
to serve the purpose of preservation of knowledge and access to it. Is
there a Latin or Aramaic Wikipedia? We should treat tiny languages
with no native speakers in the same manner.
