 So far my experience have been the opposite. But my specific concerns
is *any* commit that you have made, that involves MessagesDa.

 Because noone else does. In addition to that, My personal tak is that
people without some sort of devleoper skill is very ill-suited to do
neither translation, nor localization. The distinction is in and of
itself bogus.

 Yes, you already said that once. It's a false premise.

 Please acknowledge that I strongly urge you to improve your
communication skills. You just lost mediawiki it's only (at the time
being) translator to Danish.
