I heard that the French Wikipedia had the worst score in WMF's cost-benefit analysis, so they want to get rid of it. Also, the French people are famous for their enthusiasm and determination when learning foreign languages so I think all of them speak English fluently anyways. --X-Weinzar 18:08, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
