New subject: Voting for the closing down of Moldovan

7 Mar 2006

I hate to say, but I find myself agreeing with Node about this.  It seems
absurd to me that Romanians should be allowed to participate in the vote, to
the exclusion of all others.  It would be similar to having a vote on
closing the Scots wikipedia, where only English and Scots voters were
permitted to voice an opinion.

Note that I'm not disputing the facts that "Moldovian" and
"Romanian" are
essentially the same language, or the assertation that all the content on
mo.wiki is rubbish, but it seems grossly unfair to me to gerrymander the
electorate in such a way as to exclude many people who might have a
legitimate point of view.

 I have to object to this summary. There are a number of
things about
the vote which were unfair. Please see

...
 Note especially points 2, 3, 4, and 5. 
...
 It seems highly suspect to me that of all voters (the
dozens and
dozens of them), only 6 are actually "from Moldova", and even that
cannot be confirmed. 
...
 I should note that I, for one, boycotted the vote;
other votes were
deleted unfairly.
