Yes, that Anonimu affair did put a stain on his standing. We really should have nominated him back in July, as I suggested (but totally forgot). I bet Ghirla will now vote "oppose" as well... As for Irpen and Mikka, they refer to this ("Moldova, Moldovan language") rally-like demarche by Dpotop. I understand his frustration, but what the hell was he thinking, providing people with reasons to believe that there's a Romanian Nationalist Cabal conspiracy on Wikipedia like that? Also, since Biru is, er, remarkably patriotic, their concerns about his impartiality are quite valid. This, however, was one of my reasons for supporting him. If Biru the admin does something that would even remotely look like nationalist POV in the mainspace, he can be desysopped pretty quickly, with "see, we told you!" from M&I.; This makes adminship come with an effective killswitch for Biru so he will have to be even more impartial than before (no longer just in the mainspace). Devious, no? ;-) Oh, I feel so eeeevil! >:-E
