The difference is that people still use Cyrillic for Moldovan, and it is used to teach schoolchildren.
Runes, on the other hand...

Lets create an English, Dutch and German Wikipedia in runes... seems just as weird.

- He is not able to contribute correctly in Moldovan. All original
text by him is full of grammar and spelling mistakes. And you must understand that this is a disgrace for a language that has a rather complex grammar, close to the Latin one.
I'm not sure how that is relevant to the issue at hand, and I also have a hard time believing you've read all of my original articles.
To state that Moldovan grammar is close to Latin is a load of bull -- Moldovan may have a case system, but there are less cases than in Latin. Verbs also are much simpler than Latin. Overall it's somewhere between French and Latin as far as grammatical complexity goes.
- The correct articles added by Mark have been transliterated from
ro.wiki. This guy is not even interested in learning correct moldovan. All he wants is to make a political statement (which is not the purpose of wikipedia).
You think I want to make a political statement, you are wrong. My concern is equitable distribution of information. If I was really wanting to make a political statement, I would inject POV into articles at mowiki.
- Mark is alone in claiming that he speaks Moldovan ***and*** wants a
mo.wiki. All other users that declare themselves Moldovan (and prove it by writing correctly) believe that the current mo.wiki is at best weird and/or a very bad joke. And note that Moldovans are the actual audience Mark claims to care for.
This is quite inaccurate. A few Moldovan users have surfaced. Some have been against mowiki, some have been ambivalent, and some have supported it. I don't claim to "care for" a Moldovan audience. What I care for is the facts. People really do use Cyrillic. It really is used for teaching schoolchildren.
- As you say, the creation and development of mo.wiki should be the
work of Moldovans themselves. The problem being that no Moldovan editor wants it. I therefore suggest we close it until actual Moldovan contributors want to create and develop it.
That's entirely untrue -- an outright lie.
