DramaWiki Languages
I know that on DramaWiki's purpose document DramaWiki:About the purpose explicitely referres to English readers, but I thought that maybe my idea could be welcomed nevertheless by much people.
So my idea is to allow articles on DramaWiki in other languages than English, exactly the same way as Wikipedia does it. In terms of size of saving space it may be a bad idea, but in terms of quality of the articles I guess it could be a positive proceeding. Surfing in the d-addicts forum you can quickly observe that a big part of the users don't speak English as their mother tongue (neither do I). If it's the same way with the DramaWiki editors, then wouldn't non-english speaking editors ameliorate their articles if they write them in their own language? Furthermore, aren't d-addicts-users mostly interested in diffrent cultures? Language is THE essential part of culture. And aren't they generally motivated to learn foreign tongues? Why not create the possibility for an intercultural and interlingual horizontal expansion on DramaWiki. I think the big success of Wikipedia is due to the instant linkage between languages. Wikipedia democraticised not only knowledge, but also the use of languages in the internet. Predominance of one language in the internet or not - both ways could be of advantage, depending on the application, I guess. But for DramaWiki I imagine a multilingual thriving and prospering site.--コッチを目標に
- Wikipedia in essence is an all inclusive encyclopedia. Dramawiki, on the other hand, is only trying to fill a niche. It's main purpose is to supplement D-addicts Forum by enabling members to find out more about the dramas they plan to watch. Since expanding the Dramawiki will cost more money, you will want to IM Ruroshin and MoerkJ at the forum. Good luck!--WaterOB 01:43, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
