already has a longstanding preference not to split Wikipedias
into separate ones for each dialect, as much as possible.
As you say. AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. That is, we will try our best to have a
self translating system, if that is not possible because of local political
extremism we will be left with two chances:
1) impose our will over ro.wiki with pure strength
2) have 2 separate wikies
I think the case of "local political extremism" is actually the most
clear-cut case in which we *must not* have two separate Wikipedias.
That is a recipe for a non-neutral encyclopedia, akin to having an
encyclopedia for a particular political party, which is contrary to our
basic goals.
