Hello. I have some doubts. While the number of edits in the project is certainly impressive, this seems to be achieved by a tactic of doing extremely minor edits in order to create fairly short articles. There were four articles that were edited today, you can see it in all of them:

A first user creates the article in little slices, then user Samatics comes in to fix some formalities. All articles are rather short and link to a single English-language article (is it the source?) each.
Incidentally, you can also put all of the articles into Google Translate and it will recognize them as being in Yoruba and put out an intelligible English translation. I don't know how worrisome that is, though (but see <https://books.google.de/books?id=801byTVQSuwC&pg=PA2&lpg=PA2&dq=gungbe+and+yoruba+mutual+intelligibility&source=bl&ots=6rkTdspAg8&sig=ACfU3U21r95u1CucI5DsUOvhLgQL8JfFDg&hl=de&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjewM3Srqf9AhVdcPEDHa1OAWEQ6AF6BAgkEAM#v=onepage&q=gungbe%20and%20yoruba%20mutual%20intelligibility&f=false> at the bottom of p. 2).

I agree to the approval of guwwikinews.

I had previously been concerned about this project's focus on creating Wikimedia projects in a short period of time, but I realized that this was just my pointless concern. Some projects are often left unattended to establish other projects after being approved. However, guw projects are not, and are usually maintained and contributed continuously.

The sustainability of the community and sufficient contributions are also generally satisfactory. And no major problems are found that would prevent approval.

Therefore, I have absolutely no reason to oppose, and I'm in favor of approval.

Hi all!

I would like to suggest the approval of the Gungbe Wikinews [1]. The test wiki was started in October, and has had a steady and solid activity ever since [2], with a core group of 8 active users who have made a substantial number of edits.

According to Samatics, their most active contributor, they average about 7 new articles per day (I haven't double-checked this number, but have no reason to doubt it). For comparison, the 14 newest articles on the English Wikinews as of right now range from February 12 to January 8, so that's one article every 2.5 days – meaning the Gungbe Wikinews is already one of the most currently active Wikinews editions. They even have an audio Wikinews subproject [3] with spoken news articles!

The localization of MediaWiki into Gungbe is great and ongoing, currently MediaWiki core is at 70 % [4].
