Hoi,
An odd article proves little or nothing. This one in particular could well be the result
of vandalism (it's quite common to have vandals inserting more or less silly material
in the "dominant language" of the region). So having this silly thing published
could be the effect of a simple lack of admin labour.
If a judgment is to be made it must be based on a clear and steady trend. The fact that I
see lots of newsbreak-alikes worries me; a couple of silly lines on porn and the internet
do not.
It takes time and a good number of professional translations made by NPOV sources to make
a judgment. So far I simply notice that IMHO there are formal grounds to require a
check-out, but since I can't speak Abkhazian I don't venture into further
assertions.

I couldn't understand much of it, but id does look
weird. If you play with
the random links you end up almost always on what look like newsbreaks and
interviews. Yes, it should definitely be verified.
ab.wikipedia.org/wiki/Интернет
is written in Russian and there we can
read about (Internet?):
"Counter Strike это всенародная мултиплеерная забава. В ней надо ходить
и стрелять в врагов. В ней существуют кланы. Они борются между собой. А
еще в интернете есть порнуха."
which means:
"Counter Strike is a popular multiplayer game. There you should move and
shoot enemies. There are clans that compete too. Also there is a
pornography in Internet."
And so the 2 questions are: why is it in Russian and is it a real
Internet that I (maybe) haven't seen yet?:)

Hello!
Looking for any interesting info about Abchazija on
ab.wp.org and was
very dissapointed by the state of this project.
At first, there is no good wp-info, only interview parts with abchazian
politics. No wiki-formatted articles, no good info, Russian language
interface by default, politized "articles"... Hey, men, what's the
matter with them? Shouldn't such projects be deleted for not having any
usefull info and not leading the NPOV and other WP standarts?
I understand that abchazian language EXISTS, but I think that such
"projects" just misslead people of what Wikipedia is for.
Anyone's comments?
