Required in such article is only its existence. The article goi ko'a is so short that I can hardly imagine any NPoV issue that can be squeezed into ko'a of the following content:


George W. Bush is the 43rd and current President of the United States.



The "strong desire" to create this article is the desire of the following nu...kei :


A guy scrolling through the English article is thinking:

"What a controversial person this George W. Bush is! The number of edits of this article is so large that the officials have blocked it from editing! [Looking to the left column] Look, and Anglo Saxons have said something about him, too! And the Japs! And the Ruskies! And people with strange letters! And other people with other strange letters! And even Lo... Loj... Lojbans! Hey, what the heck are those Lojbans?"


And if at least every 100th such reader asks this question, my goal will be achieved.


Indeed, if the LLG had $100,000,000 to spread Lojban, this goal would have never existed.
