The move itself is okay, however, I don't understand the choice of target -- per BGN/PCGN_romanization_of_Belarusian it would be Maladzyechna. Yury Tarasievich 13:56, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

Ok, I think we can happlily conclude this without waiting for 5 days and thereby end this painful and, possibly, last stage. I don't see the need to attract "foreigners" with no clue on the issue. Not that I mind their opinion but for them to understand the problem will take a lot of reading and we should try saving their time. As we have BE, PL, RU, UA users agreeing here, we should just request unprotection and move it. I will do that if no one objects.

As for Molodechno, if someone wants to make a case for that another move based on a common usage, that person would need to do the homework and produce the proof. I won't because I would not assume there is much statistics on this rather obscure for the rest of the world town to prove much English usage. However, this is a separate issue which possibly may not even come up.

So, please voice your objections to the move unrpotection request if there are any. --Irpen 06:23, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, if you don't like "foreigners" with no clue on the issue", then I think you significantly undervalue the conception of

WP:V

, which is one of the main conceptions of wikipedia, if not the main one.

And the most funny thing is that, in fact, you may be one of the foreigners with limited clue on the issue, as you don't know which name is the best for this article, and all you believe is that Latinca is the worst ([1])

Finally, the survey may be closed if there is a valid reason to judge that there is a consensus, not out of the worry that foreigners may come and "damage" the consensus. --KPbIC 20:25, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I see enough evidence for consensus. I am not afraid of "foreigners". I just see the issue is obvious and I don't want to waste their time in reading all this talk pages. I do not insist. Oh, and your accusations are tiresome and will not get responses as I warned you before. --Irpen 21:11, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

People are welcome to express their opinions, and people can decide by themselves on how to rationally "waste their time". There is no need to decide on someone's behalf. You were in rush to close the first survey. You opened a new survey, you voted, and now are rushing again to close this one too. Be generous, and be patient. --KPbIC 01:01, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see what being or not being a foreigner has to do with issue, anyway. The use of BGN/PCGN_romanization_of_Belarusian in en:wiki is quite an obvious (and neutral!) solution. The WP is for the readers, after all (ideally :). Yury Tarasievich 06:49, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
