Lets create an English, Dutch and German Wikipedia in runes... seems just as
weird.

1. He is not able to contribute correctly in
Moldovan. All original
text by him is full of grammar and spelling mistakes. And
you must
understand that this is a disgrace for a language that has a rather complex
grammar, close to the Latin one.
I'm not sure how that is relevant to the issue at hand, and I also
have a hard time believing you've read all of my original articles.
To state that Moldovan grammar is close to Latin is a load of bull --
Moldovan may have a case system, but there are less cases than in
Latin. Verbs also are much simpler than Latin. Overall it's somewhere
between French and Latin as far as grammatical complexity goes.
2. The correct articles added by Mark have been
transliterated from
ro.wiki. This guy is not even interested in learning correct
moldovan. All
he wants is to make a political statement (which is not the purpose of
wikipedia).
You think I want to make a political statement, you are wrong. My
concern is equitable distribution of information. If I was really
wanting to make a political statement, I would inject POV into
articles at mowiki.
3. Mark is alone in claiming that he speaks
Moldovan ***and*** wants a
mo.wiki. All other users that declare themselves
Moldovan (and prove it by
writing correctly) believe that the current mo.wiki is at best weird
and/or a very bad joke. And note that Moldovans are the actual audience Mark
claims to care for.
This is quite inaccurate. A few Moldovan users have surfaced. Some
have been against mowiki, some have been ambivalent, and some have
supported it. I don't claim to "care for" a Moldovan audience. What I
care for is the facts. People really do use Cyrillic. It really is
used for teaching schoolchildren.
4. As you say, the creation and development of
mo.wiki should be the
work of Moldovans themselves. The problem being that no
Moldovan editor
wants it. I therefore suggest we close it until actual Moldovan contributors
want to create and develop it.
That's entirely untrue -- an outright lie.
