Hi everybody!
I don't want to discuss any of the details regarding the two requested new Wikipedias here, because both have been discussed very thouroughly in the appropriate places and can be considered approved by the community now - if they weren't we would certainly not request their creation here.
Beyond all personal opinions, there are two very simple facts:
* both proposals have been discussed exhaustively and have gained support by a vast majority of users (actually, they are supported by more people than some of the new Wikipedias created recently)
* both proposals have only minimal opposition against them (one anonymous user in one case, one anonymus plus one registered user in the other case) and meet all formal requirements
Hence, allowing them at Wikipedia is simply a question of fairness.
In my opinion, the ongoing attempts of discrediting them are plainly anti-social and contradict basic principles of the Wikipedia community ("Assume Good Faith", "Wiki-Love" ...). Everybody has the right to dislike certain ideas but such destructive behaviour is not acceptable here.
Having said that, I would like to support the petition made by our fellow Wikipedians Servien and Gerard, and kindly ask for the creation of the two wikis mentioned above (ISO codes are "rmy" and "nds-NL").
Thank you very much for your consideration!
