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,
