Wikimedia, of course, is profoundly Eurocentric in its attitudes and has persistently backed the Continentals, who are (as I noted earlier) the minority of speakers but the majority of editors. The only reason this hasn't completely boiled over is that it's over Portuguese, a language that most of the world simply doesn't care about.


I have to say that I agree with that trend. I would hate it if the French Wiki started adopting Canadian ideas. En wiki has aboot all that it can take of the Canadian nonsense and I'd hate to see Fr have the same.
