  • Yeah, the different versions don’t have to be synchronised, and the standards for sources differ (outside of the big European languages, the standards are much lower and there’s much more bullshit out there), and simply you can have one editor doing things the way they prefer on one wiki, an another editor with their preferences on the other one. Some of that can be a result of different local cultures or academic traditions (different terminology, different systems of classification, etc.).

    Btw there’s currently a project that’s supposed to solve this, “Abstract Wikipedia”, the idea being that you enter information that’s language-independent and that can be converted into any individual language.

    (It’s really bad and won’t work out.)
