From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I enjoy linguistics and international languages, and I'm an advocate of fairness among internatinal languages in the Wikipedia and other sites. The competetiveness among language groups only leads to badly written articles that continually change and change back. You can see a lot of misinformation in these articles. People see what is happening and it causes them to sour on international languages in general. The Wikipedia folks are probably none too impressed as well. One the one hand, I suggest that Esperanto speakers stick to what they know rather than guess, and be careful of the exaggerated claims that are circulating. One the other hand, Interlingua speakers should treat Esperanto speakers the way they would like to be treated themselves. I think there is a level of fear, because people see that the Interlingua speaking population is growing and they don't want to lose their own place as the most widely spoken language. But as luck would have it, there is more than one international language and there is room for more than one. Currently, my own preference is Interlingua, but I can see merits in other international languages as well.
