Controversy

Different media have criticized the Extremaduran version of Wikipedia. It is questioned that the Extremaduran is not really a language, it is a dialect of Asturian and Castilian,[3] and that it does not have a defined spelling rule.[3] The fact that the page only has three main contributors, the same who initiated the project has also been the subject of controversy.[4][5]
