::This would be extremely dangerous for the planet itself, given [[w:GDP]] and other far right wing entries, the unbalanced "community" that "protects" these to remain acceptable to far-right Americans.  There's also deliberate censorship of even mildly green entries.
 
::The right answer is for an [[independent board]], say from [http://longnow.org longnow] or some bunch of [[NGO]]s, to take over and figure out what an ideal [[developing nation]] village actually cares about, and then make sure at least that is there in [[Simple English]].  Sabotaging this kind of thing is what makes good projects into [[enemy projects]].  The [[GFDL Corpus]] must be taken over by some more responsible group that cares about its users, not its own "community"/cliques.
