How can we include Spanish-language articles? What is the path to making this a linguistically all-encompassing project? Spanish especially is really important for US prisons, but I do support the approach of "get something in the door first, then grow it". Triciaburmeister (talk) 16:29, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
