Hi all,
and another question according to the point.
As all we know, all the variants of English (British English, American
English, Australian and so on) live together in en.wiki, and never
thousands of articles in one version were deleted at once.
And Belarusian grammar versions differ essentially less that British
English differs from American English. So I don't see why the solution
for English wikipedia couldn't be used in Belarusian one.
As everybody knows, previous be.wiki (be-x-old) has large number of
articles in both language versions (ratio roughly corresponds to ratio
of active speakers of both versions in Internet), and both language
versions contributors were welcomed in old wiki. But new one states
that it will forbid any contribution in grammar that is not favored by
current admins right from the start.
As I see, the only variant which would help Belarusian wikipedia to
develop, progress and grow on - to allow both versions contributors to
put their efforts in it.
You know, there is nearly 1 mln internet users in Belarus; and while
vast majority of them use only Russian language, thousands (up to
dozens of thousands) of them use so-called "classical" version of
Belarusian language (which was mostly used in be-x-old), and only
hundreds use "normative" version of Belarusian language (the one that
is used in be now).
Thank you.
Monk.
