Slovio

Slovio (talk|edit|history|logs|links|watch) (article|XfD|restore)

Slovio is the first viable and usable inter-slavic langauge created since the demise of Old Church Slavonic, it was created in 1999 Websites: www.slovio.com www.interslavic.org, www.youtube.com/interslavic etc, etc. The creation of Slovio has "inspired" more than a dozen copy-cat language projects - which in fact violate Slovio-copyright such as language Slovianski, which was "created" in 2006 on Slovio forum: www.blognik.com - see forum history. Please restore Slovio to its proper place. By the way the most important and most influential, the first and the original interslavic language of the modern era SLOVIO has been removed from Wikipedia because it wasn't important enough, but about a dozen SLOVIO-copycat "linguistic creations" found a place in Wikipedia. ?!?

This is a real irony that the original interslavic language SLOVIO created in 1999 has been deleted and the name banned from re-creation, while such copycat projects as Slovianski, interslavic, etc, have been allowed.

Please let me know why are you opposed to Slovio, the webpage that has not been created by me but by independent (to me unknown) users. The reason why I had finally registered was to get the record straight.

EU-financed project has made a documentary about Slovio this summer (2010). Slovio is being used on many forums and websites as well as for official inter-slavic communication. How can anyone justify the deletion of the first and the most significant inter-slavic language since the demise of the Old Church Slavonic (1000 years ago), while allowing and promoting other, (later-in-time) Slovio-copycat languages "created" in Slovio-sponsored forums during Slovio discussions and deliberations? Wikipedia must remain neutral and objective and it should not be misused for re-writing history or self-promotion.

I can see the Slovio article being a victim of User:IJzeren Jan who is suspected of sockpuppetry and COI while constantly removing all links to Slovio in order to promote his own "projects" especially Slovianski which is a copy of Slovio and was "created" on Slovio forum. (Do not remove this important information: further evidence will be provided upon request.) User:IJzeren Jan is very active under his usual login, under IP-logins, as well as under other logins in the conlang area where he keeps promoting his conlangs (Slovianski, Wenedyk) while deleting links to "competing" conlangs or rewriting history to make his projects appear more significant. While under his usual login User:IJzeren Jan appeared to oppose the deletion of Slovio, he was the background initiator, main supporter and architect of the deletion. His subsequent activity proves his animosity towards Slovio and self-promotion in a clear COI. Furthermore User:IJzeren Jan has been calling me personally every dirty name in the English language on various Conlang and other forums - just google around in order to see this unethical and illegal behaviour.

Since I am a novice Wikipedia contributor, this review request may not be perfect. (Somebody keeps intentionally altering the above application in order to remove significant facts and arguments.)

• Endorse consensus is extremely clear in the AFD and subsequent DRVs. Requester has a clear COI so even a userspace draft wouldn't be acceptable, and frankly referring to others' contributions as "half-witted" isn't doing them any favours either.
