User:Lamensi Dear Lamensi, may we know why you so obsessed by Russian langugage’s current state status as an official language in Uzbekistan? Flashuz (talk) 15:02, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Flashuz, As a repost of the previous discussion, which must be addressed before changing the status quo (the current page should not be changed):

Please observe Wikipedia's own page on the matter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_facto "In law and government, de facto (/deɪ ˈfæktoʊ/ or /di ˈfæktoʊ/;[1] Latin: de facto, "in fact"; Latin pronunciation: [deː ˈfaktoː]) describes practices that exist in reality, even if not officially recognized by laws." This is the case of Russian in Uzbekistan. It is (as sources show) widely used in government services, (and can be used in notary services, as the Constitution provides) without having any legal justification. This is a situation that makes it de facto official.

If you continue to read down further, it says "Several countries, including Australia, Japan, Mexico, the United Kingdom and the United States, have a de facto national language but no official, de jure national language." and "Some countries have a de facto national language in addition to an official language. In Lebanon and Morocco the official language is Arabic, but an additional de facto language is also French."

These are opposed to De jure, which says (By Wikipedia's own standards): In law and government, de jure (/deɪ ˈdʒʊəri, di-/; Latin: de iure, lit. 'in law' Latin pronunciation: [deː juːre]) describes practices that are legally recognised, regardless whether the practice exists in reality.[1] In contrast, de facto ("in fact" or "in practice") describes situations that exist in reality, even if not legally recognised.

Finally, you have come to a reasonable agreement! Significant is a good status for Russian. Thank you for accepting compromise on this position, User:Flashuz. Please remember wikipedia is about this sort of thing. This is what I had been seeking for a long time, so if you are set to agree to this then as the only editors I think we can accept this state of affairs.
