And Mark Williamson starts again to spread his FUD, which is the only way he can keep his creation online.
Dear Craig, the vote results we presented are split into two tabs: Moldovans and Romanians. Therefore, you can forget about the Romanians. I don know what the problem of Mark is, but: 1. He is not able to contribute correctly in Moldovan. All original text by him is full of grammar and spelling mistakes. And you must understand that this is a disgrace for a language that has a rather complex grammar, close to the Latin one. 2. The correct articles added by Mark have been transliterated from ro.wiki. This guy is not even interested in learning correct moldovan. All he wants is to make a political statement (which is not the purpose of wikipedia). 3. Mark is alone in claiming that he speaks Moldovan ***and*** wants a mo.wiki. All other users that declare themselves Moldovan (and prove it by writing correctly) believe that the current mo.wiki is at best weird and/or a very bad joke. And note that Moldovans are the actual audience Mark claims to care for. 4. As you say, the creation and development of mo.wiki should be the work of Moldovans themselves. The problem being that no Moldovan editor wants it. I therefore suggest we close it until actual Moldovan contributors want to create and develop it.

I'm not sure how that is relevant to the issue at hand, and I also have a hard time believing you've read all of my original articles.
To state that Moldovan grammar is close to Latin is a load of bull -- Moldovan may have a case system, but there are less cases than in Latin. Verbs also are much simpler than Latin. Overall it's somewhere between French and Latin as far as grammatical complexity goes.

You think I want to make a political statement, you are wrong. My concern is equitable distribution of information. If I was really wanting to make a political statement, I would inject POV into articles at mowiki.

This is quite inaccurate. A few Moldovan users have surfaced. Some have been against mowiki, some have been ambivalent, and some have supported it. I don't claim to "care for" a Moldovan audience. What I care for is the facts. People really do use Cyrillic. It really is used for teaching schoolchildren.

That's entirely untrue -- an outright lie.

Lets create an English, Dutch and German Wikipedia in runes... seems just as weird.

The difference is that people still use Cyrillic for Moldovan, and it is used to teach schoolchildren.
Runes, on the other hand...
