I see
http://ce.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%91%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1%85%D0%B0%D0%BD:Contributions/62.235.129.170
that today in all articles Russian Federation was again replaced with
Chechnya as the state in the infobox. Which means, I am afraid, that the
claim is serious. Indeed, I think we should be looking for people who are
not ethnic Chechens but still speak the language to some extent. May be the
Language Committee has better ideas. If we could not find any reasonable
solution, may be one needs just to close down the project, because
currently it seems to be just a POV website.
