Factors at play: Translation: 1. Diversity of cultural worlds, one-size-fit-all legal 1. Get used to living in a few parallel cultural environment, equal opportunities and freedom mediums with different rules of choice 2. Preservation of intangible cultural heritage 2. Existing resources and infrastructure biased and diversity is your individual nostalgic towards monolingual communication and hobby documentation (Russian), with growing importance of English 3. Diversity will only survive if there’s 3. Preservation needs language nests and continuous support for its composite cultural distancing from dominant linguistic and cultural products pressure vs. growing competitive forces 4. Cultural identity is not the king, but clothes 4. Traditional cultures prioritize collective and tools that you choose to use. community, ethno-tribal, pagan and religious 5. Earn more money to volunteer & fund values, diversity of knowledge forms. English development of necessary local and market economy stress individualism, infrastructure, resources in local language, critical approach, results here and now. avoid excessive dedication to Wikimedia 5. Challenges traditional for Wikimedians, projects to avoid unpleasant social contributing in non-dominant languages in low- consequences of personal sacrifices and income countries burn-out
