Hoi,
We do not have the expertise to do what you propose. Your alternative is
inviting another Siberian Wikipedia. Thanks but no thanks.
Or another Egyptian Arabic? Everyone makes mistakes. It's not a problem if
the decision is easily reversed. The community let us know what the
problem with Siberian was, and we deleted it. No big deal.
Have we merged Serbo-Croatian yet? The problem is that such wikis tend
to be serious nationalist POV forks which does nothing for our
reputation in the relevant areas or get the communities working
together long term.
