While it may be true that not all contributors in this thread have written with perfect comprehension of the specific situation, I do think the above characterization of possible motivations is frankly beyond the pale. Please understand that nobody -- really nobody -- wishes for Portuguese Wikipedia to remain mired in problems. Personally I do believe that notwithstanding that, the best experts on how to heal the rifts within the Portuguese Wikipedia might not come from the outside. That is my personal view, lacking a believable plan of action for how the foundation or some other external part of the larger community could effect a healing action on the Portuguese community.
