To others that find this interesting,
I have found that this decision is very biased, as it is based on assumptions not on arguments. I have tried to communicate with members of subcommittee but They found it unrelevant and made decision to deny this request (you will find my attempt on this mailing list). The explanation is colored by political vocabulary with no particular reason, it is only driven on assumption - not real facts at least they didn't show them.
On request page was started a "war" against Montenegrin wikipedia where mostly Serbs voted against Montenegrin Wikipedia. Legitimate votes, but Montenegrin votes was deleted and marked as sock puppets - even it was not true. I don't understand why stewards dint check this votes again, but on page you will find many accusation on my name that stewards/Admin didn't try to clear. Why? I don't understand. I have called them several times but with no success. Our test wiki (wikii.itam.ws) was attacked several days by members of meta wiki on Mediawiki website originated from Serbia, deleting our pages and mocking on our State name changing it to Albania,etc. We lost several days in fight against vandals and tried to talk with stewards about what happen on meta request page, this was very difficult to us, but stewards didn't reacted swift in this situation clearing up the discussion there (maybe they did have some other work to do I don't know). I have called them about 20 times. At end I was blocked by no particular reason, and discussion was heated by some serbs which political agitated and insulted some people from Montenegro. That made reaction that leaded to page protection. I have talked with stewards about my ban on meta and they agreed to unblock me and to give me a chance to explain all on my talk page(user:Ego_and_his_own). On which I was also false accused, but no one reacted. Page was on subcommittee "desk" almost a week before new policy was on stage, but never less the request was judged on new policy, this is not normal in common law or in common decision making rules. But never less on that page request there was more than 5 people willing to contribute to Montenegrin wikipedia, which is basic rule from new policy. In discussion also was enough material to be positive to this request. At least to ask for some clearance on some questions, but members of committee didn't find this necessary.
I would like to see some of yours opinions regarding this issue as this looks very strange to me.
Thank you
