Talk:Emerging strategic priorities/ESP 2 key questions/Are there Wikimedia policy and procedures that inhibit the development of local language Wikipedias?

From Strategic Planning
  1. Yes, the language committee will not consider projects that do not have an ISO language code. I am very active in the Simple English Wikipedia and am so because Wikipedia being the encyclopaedia anyone can edit infers (greatly) that it is also the encyclopaedia that anyone can read. Just as we have instruction creep so to do we have article creep. This is where over time an article become more and more complex because of finer and finer tuning and more and more advanced research. Not everyone has a university degree in physiology and so can't understand all of this article. I support simpler versions of wikiprojects in all languages. fr33kman -simpleWP- 06:24, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
