From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An occasional contributor both on the French and English wikipedia, who fails to understand the "notability" criteria for inclusion or exclusion of articles as "notability" seems a fairly subjective and geographical concept (Do I give a damn about Oklahoma's toll roads ? Do anyone not living in Oklahoma give a damn about Oklahoma's toll roads ??? How does several articles about Oklahoma's toll bring any values in a 'global' encyclopedia ?!?).

Whatever may be notable for a north-american citizen could be completely irrelevant to a ROTW reader. And vice-versa. If the geographical (read cultural) distribution of Wikipedia is biaised towards North America (and I bet it is for its English version), there is a high risk this encyclopedia project becomes biaised towards NA culture and geography.

This is sad.
