I'm thinking of a whole category of retired people, that love to walk, bike, ..., but never had the opportunity to learn English (e.g. my father). You'll never reach them. </div><div style>Compare this with wikipedia, where you have a language switch on the front page, the first step is already smaller.</div>

<br>Het zou nooit bij me zijn opgekomen om een persoonlijke boodschap in het Engels tot deze gebruiker te richten. Wat de mailing list betreft, daar vind ik het geen probleem om in het Nederlands of Frans te schrijven. Al helemaal als de boodschap slechts 1 landsgedeelte aangaat. Maar ik zie er wel tegenop om al m'n boodschappen te gaan vertalen. Er is ook nog Google translate. Verre van perfect als oplossing, dat besef ik ook wel.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

parking space where I've already done all the parking space
around. user has 5 edits on his name:<br>

<div>Are these really battlefields or are they bunkers,
cemeteries (something else) ?</div>
<div>Can the tag (<a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:historic%3Dbattlefield" target="_blank">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:historic%3Dbattlefield</a>
