 * Yeah and after I contributes something there I will get blocked because some silly local policies that not allowing user who can't speak mr are not allowed to edit mr.wikipedia, noone gonna contributes there from outside of mr language sphere. Sorry.-- AldNon Ucallin?☎ 19:49, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

Dear AldNon, While we differ with your words and openion, we thank you for frank communication. Without attempts to understand B and B's policies A calls it silly, and interventions with these overbearing attitude itself are respectfully unwelcomed. Best thing about B is, they are not wasting their time calling back someones uncalled for interventions stupid but are rejecting them with respect.

Team B is self sufficient and wants to develop on its own. As and when required Team B has sought help from openminded helpfull people from other wikis who are not arrogant and respect our local policies and come only when called for.

Dear AldNon, there are many better things to do on law related articles on english wikipedia itself and we wish if you spend some more time on enwikipedia articles content related to subject of law it will not only help to English wikipedia it will help wiki in your own mother tongue when some one translates or all other local wikis. You are so knowledgeble young and enthusiastic rather than having wish to intervene in uncalled places it would be far better to reenergise and focus on betterment of en wiki and your mothertongue wiki and learn to use polite language is the best way you can help yourself; is the elderlly advice what do we have best to offer you.

Thanks again for your communication and best wishes to your studies and encyclopedic writing in your own language.

 * I don't think anybody have the rights to limit other people contributions to just "on language they understand", Wikipedia should be open for anyone to edit, even they don't have language knowledge of those project, thank you for explaining it to me, it's clear to me now mr.wikipedia will block me if I contributes something there, therefore I will limit my involvement to near zero on that wiki, best regards.-- AldNon Ucallin?☎ 00:40, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

Not able to edit Marathi Wikipedia if English language is used for discussion
When I am trying to edit Marathi Wikipedia and it is throwing following message and I am not able to save my edit. Thank you. -- Abhijeet Safai (talk) 07:45, 27 September 2017 (UTC)

"No for non Marathi languages and/or roman script !!![Language policy & exceptions] Warning: An automated filter has detected your edit because it appears to contain few or no Marathi letters. You are currently editing the Marathi language Wikipedia; contributions in any other language will be deleted.[Language policy & exceptions]. To contribute in a language other than English, please select that language from http://www.wikipedia.org If your edit is constructive and suitable for the Marathi version of Wikipedia, please click 'Save page' again, and report this error."
 * I am sharing it here because I have got to know that no other Wikipedia prevents writing in English in this way. I would request experienced editors and administrators to kindly do as appropriate. Thank you. -- Abhijeet Safai (talk) 07:45, 27 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Update - There's a proposal to relax this (arguably sub-optimal) rule on w:mr:विकिपीडिया:चावडी/ध्येय आणि धोरणे. Please vote here if you're so inclined. If you are not able to edit, ping me and we'll sort it out.
