Hi Ronline, re: Vlax Romany,
Yes, I am aware, and I am interested in it to the degree that I am in
all requests.
However, as it is not the variety most common in Moldova, it doesn't
have that added level of interest.

Hi,
Re: the Russian logo character change:
As far as I remember (and this was a long way back so
I'm not sure), it *was* a collective decision, but one
that was passed very quickly and wasn't at all
politically-motivated. It occured along with the
changeover to MonoBook, at a time when the Romanian
Wikipedia was growing very fast, and I don't think
anyone thought twice about "doing it to make a
statement against Russia".
"Again, somebody's painting it as if all Moldovans
hate this WP."
No, not at all. What Oleg and I are saying (I think
that's what Oleg is saying) is that the Cyrillic
script in Moldova is seen as a relic of the Communist
past. That doesn't mean people don't support.
Personally, I disliked the Soviet Union a lot for what
it did to Eastern Europe, and think writing
Romanian/Moldovan in Cyrillic is nonsense, but I
supported the Moldovan Cyrillic Wikipedia, if only
because I felt there were people (including you) who
were genuinely committed to it and wanted to support
it. Just like I supported the Voro Wikipedia, I
supported this one (well, Voro is a Wikipedia I really
like).
Anyway - so that final point is whether the Wikipedia
should:
*stay as it is
*move to a subdomain
*be deleted outright
Please, what does everyone think? We need more input!
By the way - did you know about our Vlax Romany
Wikipedia proposal at Meta:Requests for new languages?
We've got two native speakers - one still being
confirmed - who are willing to help. Hopefully we can
have a Vlax Romany Wikipedia by the end of the year.
