Soul Train

Hi, I've seen that report of yours, and as global sysop, Incubator sysop and member of Langcom, I am very concerned about what you write. What is the conflict about? Do I understand it correctly, that it is about the use of the Latin and Cyrillic alphabets, or is it also about additional orthographic issues? --[[Участник:MF-Warburg|MF-Warburg]] ([[Обсуждение участника:MF-Warburg|обсуждение]]) 02:06, 4 Нава 2012 (MSK)

* First of all, yes, he changes Cyrillic to Latin letters with no reason. Prior to 1938 Lezgins used Arabic script, then, from 1928 to 1938 - Latin and after - [[:ru:Лезгинская письменность|only Cyrillic]]. Today even those who live in Azerbaijan (country with national language on Latin script, so part of Lezghian minority '''may''' use this script too, but I don't know any evidences for this) use Cyrillic - [http://www.samurpress.com/ here's site] of one of the largest Lezghi newspaper "Samur" (published in Baku) - even they used Cyrillic. Therefore, we can not even say that this language is "bi-scripted" (as Serbian). Moreover, these issues should be resolved by consensus of the community. He just changes everything without discussion. Secondly, [[Википедия:Гафалаг#Названия государств|now we creating rules about countries names]], finding consensus, with discussion, with reliable sources (using dictionaries, periodic press on Lezghian language) - he should tell his opinion in this discussion, but he just rename articles without reliable sources, construct new words that never used in language - only because '''he''' wants this variant. He does not recognize the work of professors, linguists, and dictionaries. At the same time he can't write normal articles - [[Леди Гага|just]] [[Алпан|stubs]], so how can we believe in the truth of his position? As for the aggression to other languages​​, I do not even want to write - I wrote about it @Meta. He does not understand that users who do not speak Lezgin, using English and Russian to coordinate technical work on the early stage of growing project and [http://lez.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%D0%9E%D0%B1%D1%81%D1%83%D0%B6%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B5:%D0%9A%D1%8C%D0%B8%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%BD_%D1%87%D1%87%D0%B8%D0%BD&diff=next&oldid=11583 behaved aggressively] (talk of Main Page: "Here's Lezghin Wikipedia and let write here in Lezgin, OK?"). After all, he also does not understand the principles of the encyclopedia and Wiki-projects. See this [http://lez.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%D0%93%D0%B0%D0%B3%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%BD,_%D0%AE%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%B9_%D0%90%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%BA%D1%81%D0%B5%D0%B5%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%87&diff=next&oldid=13440 funny edit]. He wants change category name to word Тlаб just because he don't like Russian-like word "Категория" - but this word exist in Russian-Lezghian dictonary of professor M.Gadzhiev and it is usual international word for this language. Many other Wikipedias on Cyrillic script use this form, and, as I say, only community can decide, not the only one user. Also I can add that I know some things about Lezghian language and culture because I have a Lezghian friend (classmate at the [[:en:Orel State University|University]], I was at his wedding couple of months ago), and I do respect Lezghian language and culture. And I do not like when someone tries to "rape" them.--[[Участник:Soul Train|Soul Train]] ([[Обсуждение участника:Soul Train|обсуждение]]) 03:42, 4 Нава 2012 (MSK)
