I think that things are changed because people are talking about this
issue (not about Zlatiborian, but about the way how to prevent such
things), but to explain with one more sentcence our thoughts: is
better to act as local chapter and not to be the formal part of WM
then to have a lot of bad will questions (i.e. "How many Zlatiborian
Wikipedias do you have?"). In this moment we are talking with some
members of Serbian Academy to join us (and we would get a lot of
relevant material from natural sciences as well as redaction of
existing and new material) and our position in academic circles is a
lot related with (non-)existance of Zlatiborian or Bronxian Wikipedia.
