Chuck Norris once wrote a 10 million lines C++ program in Microsoft Notepad
without having to use the backspace key. And it compiled without errors or
warnings, and was 100% bug‐free.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] New language code for Western Armenian language

[Alphos OGame]

That's fantastic !

Proof, if it was ever needed, that the Wikimedia movement can have an effect on 
the "outside world" other than collecting and providing information ; Wikimedia 
Armenia actually took the leading part in bettering an international standard !

My most heartfelt congratulations :-)
