Fine but it wouldn't be a bad idea to consider if each other community, specially English language ones, joins the action the English Wikipedia community is now discussing and developing, or for the English Wikipedia community to ask the other projects to call for participation of her action. Slightly OT but I wish someone leaves a neat comment during the discussion on SOPA, copyright, US legislative in general or anything worth to quote so that we at Wikiquote would love to cite later, and oh belated happy birthday big sister Wikipedia.
