One of the comitments of the Wikimedia Foundation is that we will comply with standards. Vladimir fails to understand that the fact that "Chinese" has been transcribed in hieroglyphs has no bearing on standards. First, Chinese is probably to be understood as Mandarin, the script is probably to be understood as Simplified. A circus trick does not make an argument. As I have repeated all too often, Phoenician transcribed in the Latin script is not standardised and as no Phoenicians ever used the Latin script, it is a fallacy to consider a code for Phoenician with a script added to it as being in compliance with standards. As to previous arguments used, Vladimir failed to convice why a "science award" was useful in the first place. He used as an argument that "science awards" have a hierarchy of importance but he failed to argue why the bias in these hierarchies is something that Wikidata has to support.. All I heard was "because we can". Yes, we can be biased and yes there is no argument why Phoenician in the Latin script is anything but a transliteration to a language in the same way that Cadiz is not Spanish. Thanks and let this be the end of this.
