MicroWiki Policy Shift
Sir,
Since the MicroWiki has recently had a major shift in policy concerning the creation of articles with little to no micronational relevance, and I was neither consulted, nor informed beforehand, I shall no longer contribute new articles to the MicroWiki, nor recommend it to the general micronational community as a resource. If you wish to make this wiki irrelevant outside the Official World, and also outside other fields of human endeavour, you may do so, but you can count me out as a contributor, since the decision is not rational, and is in fact politically motivated.
I will also no longer keep links to this wiki from the Micronational Professional Registry (MPR) homepage either, since it is clear to me that most Admins here neither have respect for other peoples' opinions (not to mention other people's countries), nor do they have sufficient legitimacy to claim to represent even just the views of the MPR, which is but a minority of the micronational community, but an intermacronational and intermicronational organisation which does recognise several nation-states in a de facto manner.
I also know of no other serious intermicronational organisation that refuses to recognise at least the major countries in a de facto manner, so I believe you are cheapening the value of this wiki. I also feel that if you wish to keep countries like Canada out of the article list here, even though they do have relevance micronationally (the MPR recognises Canada in a de facto manner, and Independent Long Island also has a High Commissioner to Canada), if you are not a bunch of hypocrites, you should also stop talking about your Official World diplomas and degrees, because what sense does it make to disavow Canada, but accept one's Canadian High School diploma or university degree?
I will not simply stand by as you create the wiki equivalent of an Iron Curtain. Please change the front page of this wiki also, by the way, because the words are deceptive. The MicroWiki is no longer a "free Micronational database". --IndigoGenius 16:08, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
