Not sure if you meant this how it sounds, but the English Wikipedia
community is acutely aware of copyright problems and have undertaken many,
many large and complicated cleanup tasks of the sort Marco described.
I think he meant that the English Wikipedia community is less aware of
the fact that we face these sorts of large-scale challenges in many
other languages as well. In other words, the antecedent to "them" is
"issues on the Dutch/Italian/etc. Wikipedia", rather than "copyright
issues" generally. Most people participating in other languages are
reasonably aware when major concerns surface from the English Wikipedia;
people participating only in English often haven't a clue about the
concerns being dealt with in other languages.
