Gerard, With whom do you beg to differ?

Hoi, I beg to differ. If anything the WMF needs to focus us more on the imbalance that exists between the fundamental bias toward English versus all other languages. For me the easiest picking is to share in the sum of the knowledge that is available to us. To get there simple goals like "a nine year old is able to find pictures in Commons" are fundamental. As it is, this is not even considered.

Everything based on this false premise, fails.
