We must end the nonsense. Never again must a page like, "Anti-American Wikipedians" be deleted on the say-so of some elitist. We must vote on such issues. Never again should the name of Munchen or Colombo be decided by some American with administrative powers. We must vote on such issues and we must start this voting process soon.
Quite declaratively put. But where's the fire? The Anti-American Wikipedians page was deleted, but then it was undeleted. I'd say the only problem is that you're not a sysop; then you could have undeleted it yourself.
The only other problem is that, as I see it, there's a basic inconsistency in having both meta and the Wikipedia: namespace, since they serve overlapping functions, and overlapping functionality leads to conflict. But I'm willing to go with the implicit rule of "If it annoys somebody, put it on meta."
