[Wikipedia-l] Moldovan wikipedia, again

Fri Jun 30 00:56:37 UTC 2006

If Wikipedias with no native contributors are so evil, why don't you
request locking of the over 100 Wikipedias for which this is the case?

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?
