I'm taking some exception to some of the comments here. Creating WP in your own native language can't be considered "being at the somebody's throat".
In fact, when you get down to it, there actually *are* *two* Belarusian languages currently:
* One is standard, denoted by iso 639, state sponsored for 80+ years, taught at schools in the fairly unchanging way for 70+ years (well, excepting the 3 years of German occupation), state language since 1991, etc. etc. etc. Not much to add here, really.
* Another is stemming from pre-reform tradition, brought on, in many variations, by emigrants, put forward, in many variations, in end 1980s by *some* people "dissatisfied" with the standard one, and trying to make the state switch the standard one for "pure tarashkyevitsa", as heralded by them.
This was then in-group dubbed "classic" in c.1994, in-group standardised in 2005 (for what it's worth, I hear there are again splinterings over it -- inside the group -- unsurprising), and contains now extra letter in alphabet, bulk of the pre-reform orthography features, different declensions, different standard vocabularies, lexics in constant re-invention flux.
This is clearly another language (or dialect?), being in the formative phase, with its supporters claiming the names "Belarusian" and "Classic", and, it seems, still cherishing the hope to impose their creation on everybody in Belarus -- or from Belarus, when on Internet.
Getting back to the wiki matters, the question of the language chosen for the be:wiki, was *first time* raised like a week after its opening (c.Sep 2004), and first b*dy row "over the orthography" happened after 4 months (Jan 2005). To bunch together two entities so different is utopia -- and possibly falsehood.
On the whole, I hardly see how all this, or, specifically, two wikipedias in two versions of language, would qualify as "disgrace", though. Just a different wikipedia in a different language of a different folks. That the language is authored by a fraction group, isn't a basis for disqualification. There are, e.g., plenty of wikis in dialects or artificial languages, with no-one's the worse for it.
Of course, it hardly can be called "just Belarusian" or "Classic".
