Why would you update the English Wikipedia before the Japanese one ?
- msephton 2y agoWhy wouldn't I? I'm a native English speaker. But, I won't be updating any wikis as I don't enjoy it.
- BlueTemplar 2y agoBecause it's a Japanese-specific phenomenon (isn't it ?), and I would expect that different language Wikipedias copy from each other all the time, so if your goal was to (as I assumed it to) to put that information on (at least) the English Wikipedia, then having it first featured on the Japanese one would give it much more weight ?
- msephton 2y agoEmoji is of Japanese origin but absolutely a worldwide phenomenon at this point!?! Of course this new info should be on all wikis, but I don't think it matters at all which one comes first. I don't edit Wikipedia, so I don't have any skin in the game.
