Please shorten the English text to read similar to the new English Main Page:

[[en:Wikipedia | Wikipedia]] is a [[en:multilingual coordination | 
multilingual project to create a complete and accurate 
[[en:Wikipedia:Copyrights | open content]] encyclopedia. We started on 15 
January 2001 and are already working on XXXX articles spread across XX number 
of languages. Visit the [[en:help | help page]] and experiment in the 
[[en:Wikipedia:Sandbox | sandbox]] to learn how ''you can edit any article 
right now''. 

Less is more. 

BTW, everyone should vote on what to do with www.wikipedia.org over at meta.
