Articles Wikipedia should have--but doesn't.

Good, bad, biased, paid or what-have-you. There's an endless supply.

Why doesn't English Wikipedia have an article about Gotthilf Betulander? He was an important early developer of automated telephone exchange equipment. But of course, he was Swedish, so they don't give a damn.

The clowns who run en-wiki could easily translate the Swedish WP article and reuse the references. It would take 20 minutes. He's already mentioned in the Crossbar article, as a red link.....

Obviously Emperor gave up and abandoned his precious. Back in 2010 it was being aggressively patrolled. He was deadly serious about creaing a WP competitor, albeit never a very good one. Now just another "ghost site".
