Nuance: - You say it's a wikipedia with no native contributor. - But we proved here that there is NO CONTRIBUTOR AT ALL. Your "contributions" are stolen from ro.wikipedia.
I know of the Wikipedia licencing policy, but this still is utterly unethical: One person copying articles from one wikipedia to another and then claiming they are different just because the script was changed.
Actually, this is what infuriates me and makes me fight here. This is why I, a Romanian, am involved. The "Moldovan" identity is the problem of the Moldovan people. I have already said that once a native Moldovan speaker wants a Moldovan wikipedia, I'll help him create it.
But you are not Moldovan. You are not able to write Moldovan. You pretend helping some people that did not ask for your help. No native Moldovan expressed an interest in your wikipedia.
In fact, all people from Moldova, here on Wikipedia, say they speak Romanian. You have Oleg Alexandrov, which used to help you, but then dropped you when he saw you profess extreme oppinions. You have Dmitriid, which marks ro-2 in his Babel box, not mo-2, and would agree for an automatic translation tool from Romanian, a tool that exists (as he said two days ago).
And these are the ones that you claim to have (or have had) on your side. Because there are Moldovans, like Pavel, that are utterly mad at you for supporting Stalinist points of view.
You can always come with arguments of the sort: - there is an ISO code - maybe, in the future, there will be some community - the bad Romanians are against it
BUT: RIGHT NOW, THERE IS NO COMMUNITY, no interest in your work, aside from the interest of your opponents (the people you plagiarize), and that of some innocent bystanders on this list and elsewhere, that are forced into listening all this because you won't accept that you serve nobody's interest.

You might say that none of them have any people writing, but that is not true. Wikipedias such as the Lingala Wikipedia (ln.wp) are filled with content created by non-native speakers, and you aren't complaining about them. Why is that? Why don't you go on a crusade to close the Lingala Wikipedia? Or the Maori Wikipedia?

Hello Gerard,
I don't really understand what you are implying.
But I can repeat why we ask for the deletion of mo.wikipedia (all of these are already proven in previous messages):
- There is no community. Nobody on wikipedia is both
interested in having it and able to contribute.
- All content is copied from ro.wikipedia and
transliterated. There are better, already tested ways of changing script, if someone wants it.
- In the current status, mo.wikipedia is in fact a
heaven for trolls of all sorts.
Of course, deletion needs not be permanent. As soon as the condition 1 becomes false (as soon as a community forms), the moldovan wikipedia can be re-created.
Yours, Jacky

The content that is currently on mo.wikipedia is
written in a language that
is not used any more in the Republic of Moldova.
It could be argued that
Moldovan is used by a minority in the territory of
Moldova (in private and
personal matters), and by a part of population
(mainly Moldovan schools) in
Transnistria. Please note that Cyrillic Moldovan
is not used on a large
scale (that is, generally speaking, you won't
encounter Moldovan Cyrillic
anywhere in Moldova). At least for Moldova, I can
assure you, as I am a
native Moldovan. As far as Transnistria is
concerned, I really doubt it.
Even the official presidential website doesn't contain any Cyrillic Moldovan content. ...
Hoi, Either the information is correct, and given that it is said to be information from the Romanian language Wikipedia it should be both correct and NPOV. If it is not correct or NPOV, /both/ the Romanian and the Moldovian language Wikipedia are to be considered problematic. All the rest is very much politics, posturing and intransigence.
I am sure that this continued existence is best ignored. Consider you are either a party to this dispute or you could not care less. When the argument is that the mo wikipedia is occupied by trolls, remember they thrive by getting attention.
