10:32 Spellings clash at Wikipedia's Belarusian version

The Belarusian version of Wikipedia is in the middle of a scandal, after the supporters of the official Belarusian spelling rules have managed to receive permission from the free encyclopedia's administration to publish their articles on the official web site of the Belarusian-language Wikipedia at be.wikipedia.org. Over 6000 articles, written in the unofficial spelling -- the so called "taraskievica" -- have now been shifted to be-x-old.wikipedia.org, where editing is not possible. According to sourse close to the conflict, the Wikipedia Foundation had to accept the official spelling rules of the Belarusian language due to the alleged absence of ISO-code for "taraskievica", reports tut.by.
