When I made it clear to you that you Admins usually either ignore our concerns or you give us the usual "this is our policy end of discussion BS", you finally held a consensus on the matter. I give you praise for that. However, what we saw was that the vast majority of people were in favor of a Native English policy. All of those in favor of a British english only policy want strict un-userfriendly language guidelines just to have conformity. It really has nothing to do with professionalism. If it did, then maybe the more prominent and successful encyclopedia platform, Wikipedia, would hold the same policy... Oh but that's right, it doesn't!

So my question to you is: When will the community's choice of rule take effect? I thought that it was pretty clear that the Native English Rule was to become the new standard, but i guess I was wrong about how soon the implementation process would be... That's bureaucracy for ya. First thing, your message is quite rude.

Second, the rule will take effect, but we need to write it in detail, and a rule about Native English needs a lot of detail and dedication before it's made current policy. It's not the same of saving one language must be wik-wide, we're talking about every single variation of English.

Our community guidelines say you must be civil, so, please reply in a civil way, thank you.
