[Wikipedia-l] Moldovan wikipedia, again

And, should you say that it *does* need to be closed, by chance...

Does it need closing much more than, say, the Tajik, Nauruan, Kanuri,
Venda, Xhosa, or Twi Wikipedias?

The current version of the page [[:mo:Wikipedia:Administrator]] is that rigged by Node_ue, but take a look at the history on the vote page [http://mo.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrator&oldid=11594], which shows the true result of the vote according to the original rules set by Node_ue.

Take a look at his post here [[:ru:Википедия:Форум/Новости#Moldovan]], and notice the blatant lie concerning the cyrillic script (whereas the problem is in fact the absence of Moldovan editors).
