with the discussion clearly showing majority support for the Klingon Wikipedia, please can we finally re-enable it now?
I see no such majority support.
Are you blind?
See my response to Peter - if your standards of listing people as "supporters" are the same as his, then I'm not surprised by the result. Furthermore, it is obvious that a page about artificial languages would primarily attract people interested in artificial languages, of which there are many on Wikipedia thanks to our generous policy with regard to conlangs. If you want to know if the majority of Wikipedia users supports Klingon or not, you will have to hold a well-publicized vote about it. This, or a compromise, is the only acceptable way out of the current impasse.
It's the idea of voting on such a thing that is wrong. When you use a vote to restrict the way that others function, that is a tyranny of the majority. Elaborate votes with complicated processes should be limited to things that matter to everyone. Most of us aren't really concerned with what the Klingons do in their proposed 'pedia. We're content to let them do their thing. If we need to inform ourselves enough to make a proper vote on everything that is proposed for a vote, we would never get anything done.
