I want to improve the biographies of mathematicians (they deserve big articles, like the ones that singers and athletes are receiving on Wikipedia), but I have a problem: If the mathematician is not from a native English-speaking country, the best sources are in languages like Russian, Hungarian, Chinese, etc... How can I check if I got their content right when I don't know so many languages nor have contacts with people who know these languages and also speak English/Spanish?
A thought: The English Wikipedia is the cornerstone of all other Wikipedias, and if it falls, all others will fall together, and if it prosper, all others will prosper too.
Personal: My philosophy/mathematics/physics heroes are Karl Popper, Carl Friedrich Gauss and Albert Einstein.
I feel that philosophers and physicists get famous much more easily than mathematicians. This is not good. (still much harder than athletes and singers...)
Comment. By the way: I usually read very quickly. It took me approximately four seconds to read what is written in this page above this comment.
