Oh, I get it now. Cabrilo doesn't want to contribute to ANY of the 3 languages (oh the glamour of being exclusive), but wants another (4th!) project for him and 2 of his pals who share the same political view. That's being selfish to me and this proves that SH is just a political intersection of the 3 more prominent wikipedias.

That Serbian, Croation, and Bosnian are separate languages appears to be a politically-convenient fiction that wants to enforce differences that don't really exist. That can only tend to enforce component-nation-specific POVs and thus violate NPOV (as would having separate Wikipedais for Simplified and Traditional Chinese).
The existence of a single Serbo-Croatian language was a political fiction, enforced and maintained by a communist dictatorship which imprisoned people for speaking their mind out loud, fired them from their jobs and made it impossible for them to get another one, and also kept secret police files on large parts of the population.
Unsurprisingly, the fiction collapsed together with the dictatorship. Today this idea is considered outlandish by almost all speakers of Croatian and Bosnian (and a great majority of Serbian speakers). That there are still some Serbs who stick to this fiction is probably due to the fact that their language (Serbian) had favored status within the Serbo- Croatian fiction (ie it was almost exclusively used by the army, diplomacy, federal service etc.).
Thank you,
