This problem of one or two strong-willed admins enforcing their will
over others is not an uncommon problem at smaller Wikis. In many
cases, uncommon or strange orthographies, nonstandard dialects, or
strange editing rules have been enforced; people who complain are
often ignored and referred back

Plus, truly puzzling, your interest of my activity. Purpose? Explain.

Hoi,
The policies of the English language Wikipedia have evolved over many years

WP:NOTLAW are generally
It means global to the English Wikipedia, someone should probably change
that. Different languages and projects are largely independent of each
