If the wiki request gets past a certain date with no action, it seems to
make sense to move it to an archive. Just need a policy for that, if there
isn't one already.

Subject: [Wikipedia-l] Requests page
Dear fellow list subscribers,
Yesterday I had the unpleasant experience that Mark Williamson scolded me
for "Censor" and "Thought police". The reason was that I had deleted
some of
the requests on the Requests for new languages page on meta
(
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages), and
subsequently he placed most of them back, along with some other ones that
had been removed by long, and not by me.
As a matter of facts, I got /furious/ and if Mark had stood right before me
I would have spit into his face. Later however, he eludicated the reason why
he placed them back, and we seem to agree on more things than I thought at
first. The page /is/ really getting overloaded with requests and becomes too
long. The difference was, he wanted to keep them anyway.
I may opinion, the right solution is to cut-and-paste them to an archive,
newly to be created. I could very well create it right now, but thanks to
Mark's great action I am unsure whether this wil be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Incompetent, inautoritive censor and thought police Wouter Steenbeek.
Btw: it seems perhaps a little inappropriate to discuss this meta topic on
the Wikipedia mailing list, but since the topic is realted to the creation
of new Wikipedias I took the liberty to post it here.
