Hi all,
Andre Engels has recently locked the sh.wikipedia database at the recommendation of Tim Starling, on the grounds that it is "supposed to be dead".
However, if I recall correctly, there is a story behind the continued existance (until now) of the Serbo-Croatian Wikipedia in the shadow of the Serbian, Croatian, and Bosnian Wikipedias, perhaps something along the line of there still being people who push for the usage of the unified form again?
While I realise that much of the content at sh.wikipedia does not belong there, simple locking of a database is no way to deal with inappropriate content, rather it should be discussed with the relevant people who can help fix it in the proper way.
And while Serbo-Croatian may no longer be the official language of a state, it still exists parallel to Bosnian, Serbian, Croatian, and Montenegrin (this may or may not be an actual language, the whole question of these 5 different varieties which are, depending on who you speak to, different languages or different dialects). Bosnian, Serbian, and Croatian are pushed by Bosnian, Serbian, and Croatian nationalists as well as their respective governments, Montenegrin is pushed in Montenegro (Crna Gora) by nationalists but a measure to make Montenegrin rather than Serbian the official language of Montenegro failed. However, something like 30% of the population writes on the census that rather than Serbian they speak Montenegrin. Serbo-Croatian is very controversial, but it is still pushed by some.
