Hoi!
Why should Belarusian speakers be *forced* to
"maintain the unity"
with something, in which they are completely *dis-interested
They cannot be forced
and will not be forced. If and when be-x-old gets
switched off nobody from wmf will migrate a single line of the existing
be-x-old content. It will either be you guys doing it or nobody.
Now there is this be-x-old which is now submitting for
the renaming to
be-tarask. One linguistic entity -- one WP. Quite fair.
Theoretically yes, in
practice no, because be-x-old is NOT a recognized
linguistic entity. We just refused Romanesco based on this very reason, you
want us to start a civil war in Italy to make sure you guys are happy in
Minsk? Come on...
The alternative Belarusian speakers which comprise the
majority of old
[[be:]] crew simply *hate* the normative variant of Belarusian, and
that's the start and the end of it.
I'm kind of ready to believe that a
number of personal feelings are involved
in this matter, yes :) Anyway, none of them is an ISO code.
there are plenty of
ways for the adminning group to discourage the creation of undesired
content.
Yes, admins always have power, no matter the edition. And it's not
even easy
to get rid of us bastards, because we have a better knowledge of the
environment and can always confuse a newbie by saying/publishing apparently
neutral stuff. Thank God this is not under my competence :)
