Of course, a conflict requires at least to sides, and only leaving one side standing would
end the dispute. However, I don't believe that this is likely to happen in this case.
By the same token one could make the argument that if you would disappear (as you are
virtually the only active contributor on mo) then viable opposition to the closure of the
project would cease and the admnistration would have to acquiesece. Nevertheless, at this
point, the unwillingness of some administrators to act on a resolution reached almost by
concensus (with few dissents), practically constitutes endorsement of the current status
quo, thus autmatically negating the partiality claimed by them.
I agree with you, though, that simply closing the encyclopedia might not bring about a
complete end to the dispute, though you ability to reopen the debate and subjequently the
wiki will be greatly reduced unless you were to produce a native speaker intersted in
pursuing the project. For this reason, I find it best if all sides could agree on one
solution and compromise if need be. For example would you agree to set up a
transliteration tool that would convert articles from RO to Cyrillic and have that
available at ro-cyr or mo-cyr (assuming the tool could be perfected to funciton
adequately)?

The conflict will end if you stop making it such an issue.
Without you and your friends, there simply is no conflict.
Enforcement is not all that is lacking. There are many issues here.
Currently, the position of those in charge seems to be to try to seal
the situation off from the outside and let both sides duke it out.
And who's to say the conflict would end if the Wikipedia were closed?
I know that I would hold polls for it to be reopened, try to put the
content elsewhere, etc.
Until Bogdan and Jacky made an issue of this, it was dormant, nobody
paid attention to mo.wiki except those who actually care about it.

In my view this is discussion cannot be viewed as
separate from the past ones on the topic, but rather the continuation (and hopefully the
culmination) of the issue. If such a resolution has already been made, then what is the
purpose of continuing this discussion and wasting even more time. The only thing lacking
is enforcement, and why souldn't that be carried out in accordance with the general
conclusion of the debate, whether in the past or the present.
I understand how some users might feel frustrated with the continuation of the discussion
and the war of words, however by not acting the conflict will not end, and I believe you
are actually giving tacit approval to the project in its current state. I am sorry if
others spent a great deal of time looking at the dispute and now may feel irritated, but
others also were involved in this debate, to an even higher degree, and simply stating
that all this work was in waste as you do not intend to act in any way seems a grave
neglect of your duties and even a lack of respect for those who have invested their time
to try to find a solution to the problem and find the best way to resolve it.
Mark Williamson wrote:
Is this relevant to the *current* discussion?
Everybody already knew about that. It was clear that that decision was made.
However, it was never enforced, and since then, you have taken against
yourselves by turning the heat up where it was absolutely not
necessary and making everyone stop caring.
