The Wiki is far less demanding in this respect than the world in general. Do you think US media overruns the planet because it's *good*? > This stacks the cards strongly against those from non-English backgrounds, What is the *real problem* here? Is it that a web site has a policy that favours material on the web? Or is it that there are still people in the world who don't have easy access to the web? It's a problem, surely, just the Wiki's.
