Hoi,
Get your facts straight. Mike is not an employee nor a spokesperson for the
Wikimedia Foundation. Andreas has a set of hobby horses. That is fine but
it does not follow that we have to be grateful for them. Yes, there are
plenty of issues with all of our projects and at that, English sets a
pattern that is hardly beneficial for the smallest projects.
Thanks,
Gerard
