Polyglot is yet again misrepresenting the so-called

to go through it again but anybody who wants to know the true sentiments
felt by *all* the contributors to the en.wiktionary must read the relevant
sections of the "voting" page, the Beer parlour, etc. It has a long history
which Polyglot and a couple of others are very happy to gloss over because
the change is what they want and it is convenient for them to make
absolutely zero mention of the multiple heated debates.
I don't think anyone is trying to gloss things over, or ignoring the
debate and votes. There were two votes. The first went slightly
against the change, but the second was strongly in favour. You were
notably alone against the change in the second vote until you managed to
change a few minds after the fact.. When things didn't go your way you
went ahead with a lot of spurious claims about the legitimacy of the
vote. It's all a matter of public record.
When the anger died down a little I was told that in
fact the scheme I've
hoped for all along, full case folding, is planned for the long run.
Whatever you mean by "{full case folding" it was not a part of the
discussion. If I'm wrong please show where this concept was discussed.
What
this means is that we will be running around splitting all the articles in
two now, making plenty of mess; then after that change, running around
merging them back together in a different way!
Speculative.
