Forum:Article comments written in foreign languages

This wiki I'm an admin of uses the new comments section instead of the old "Talk:" namespace for articles. We have general guidelines regarding article comments to maintain a clean wiki (removal of spam comments or external site advetisements). But occasionally, we get comments that are written in a foreign language, usually French, Spanish, or Portugese. Since the wiki is English and most of the community reads/writes English, we just remove those comments. I'm wondering if this is exactly "ethical" since wikis are supposed to have an unbiased and open-minded point of view. --Immunizations (talk) (contribs) (Habbo page) 01:30, March 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * Its up to your wiki, its not unethical. I would personally leave them but tell the users to please speak english.--


 * Its the same for my wiki. Since nobody uses the old talk for deciding article changes, after a month and up has passed we also remove discussions of things that already got implemented. Might sound a bit mean, but it keeps the wiki clean, if everyone started speaking any language nobody would be able to read anything. Plus you can't be sure that person is not being offensive/violating wiki policies if you don't understand it yourself (and if its written wrong not even a translator can help)
