Talking about removal...

Mark... the request for permission was stating artificial languages are 
perfectly acceptable.

Aphaia added a paragraph which reflected better the current most agreed 
upon idea on the topic, which is precisely that creation of artificial 
languages may indeed ... just not happen.

You removed Aphaia comments.

I placed them back, slightly rephrased. I hope my rephrasing is 
acceptable to you.

But please, admit that the community generally do not share your opinion 
on the matter of artificial languages... and that these pages should 
reflect the reality of what is happening... rather than what you hope 
should happen. Writing down a misrepresentation will not help, but to 
confuse people.

I must confess I am a bit worried to see you make many changes to this 
page. Generally, you confess opinions on the matter of new languages 
which are significantly different from community opinion... and I would 
prefer you avoid removing to many comments.
For example :

I confess I forgot about the Foundation wide vote on the matter of

Some languages that have been decided are too similar to another 
language include a proposed [[:en:Filipino language|Filipino]] wiki 
(redundant with [[:en:Tagalog language|Tagalog]]), [[:en:Basel 
German|Basel German]] wiki (redundant with [[:en:Alemannic 
language|Alemannic]]), East German wiki (redundant with [[:en:German 
language|German]]).
