This is a very Western view of the Internet (and the world in general). "I've heard of it in my country, so it must be something everyone knows about". I too once shared this view.

The foundation has done some work on discovering potential readership in non-Western countries.

I'll cherry-pick a stat I found amazing. The foundation did research in India. "75% of respondents had never heard of Wikipedia." Only one out of every 4 even knew the name, much less that they could edit a local language version!

So, there's a little opportunity to improve things in the second most-populated country in the world. :)

Full disclosure: I work for the Wikimedia Foundation. These comments are my own and I do not speak for the Foundation.

Losers? That's hurtful and unconstructive, making the rest of your argument hard to hold as being rationale and well-informed. Like you're just guessing. Since I work at the foundation (but to be clear, I do not speak for the entire organization) I can say that your links do not reflect the effort, skills, and talent of the individuals I work with, nor the much improved communication and leadership in the last few months.
