You see. Right there: ... The article publishing charge at Lingua for open access articles is $1,800 USD. The editors had requested a price of 400 euros, an APC that is not sustainable.

.. Morons are as good as claiming Wikipedia is not sustainable because they don't charge editors 1800$ to edit an article...
