Oppose Human resources (sysops, translators etc.) for the Japanese language projects are stretched so thin right now, I won’t be surprised if someone gets Karōshi (can be mentally as well if not physically). I don’t think it is a good idea to add another project in Japanese language at the moment. I also think that we should put more emphasis on quality instead of quantity, right now. I would not oppose this proposal forever, but I don’t think I would say “yea” anytime soon.--Californiacondor 06:07, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
