If this is *so* *quick* and *easy* to press the "next"
or "delete" key, perhaps would it be nice to show a
little more tolerance toward those who feel more
confortable dealing with some difficult topics in
their native language, rather than english language.

Everyone has a right to be part of the big picture in
Wikipedia. That might means sometimes switching to
another language for more convenience.
