Tyvan Wikipedia
by MF-Warburg 30 May '13

30 May '13

I just got a verification from Dr. Anett C. Oelschlaegel [1] that the content of Wp/tyv is indeed Tyvan. Therefore, let's proceed with the approval of tyv.wiki. The activity on the test project also kept up since we first talked about this in March [2] :) [1] http://www.eth.mpg.de/cms/en/people/d/oelschl/ [2] https://toolserver.org/~pathoschild/catanalysis/?cat=0&title=wp/tyv&wiki=in…

Re: [Langcom] [Langcom-l] Wikidata and languages

I see no problems here either. Obviously however interwiki links wouldn't work when the wiki doesn't exist yet (see also < https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Requests_for_comment/Items_for_Wikim… >). 2013/5/28 Jon Harald Søby <jhsoby(a)gmail.com> > I don't see any reason why WD shouldn't allow all languages, and have > often wondered why it doesn't already.

https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Thread:Support/Request_for_enabling_new_vari… >> Currently Wikipedia in Hakka language are written in roman script (Mainly used by Hakka people in Taiwan). However, for Hakka people who stay in China，South East Asia and others country, they faced difficulties in understanding the Hakka roman script. Hence, we request for enabling 2 new variants which are Traditional Hakka Script (which used by Hakka people in Hong Kong or Older Hakka people）and Simplified Hakka Script（used by Hakka people in China or others country). Thank you. Below are the information of variants: <<

Wikipedia Taiwanese Hokkien
by MF-Warburg 08 May '13

08 May '13

I think I sent the mail to the old list accidentally.. so here again: There's a request for Wikipedia in Taiwanese, which is a dialect on Min Nan. It doesn't seem to have an ISO code, so probably needs to be rejected. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Taiwan… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwanese_Hokkien_language

Venetian Wiktionary
by MF-Warburg 01 May '13

01 May '13

I propose to approve Venetian Wiktionary. The relevant links: https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wt/vec https://toolserver.org/~pathoschild/catanalysis/?cat=0&title=Wt/vec&wiki=in… Localisation is nearly complete https://toolserver.org/~robin/?tool=codelookup&code=vec and has activity on translatewiki http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Portal:Vec They have a good continuous activity over time (user GatoSelvadego continuously plus several others). It's maybe a bit low for our usual standards, but I think it's appropriate to approve this. What do you think?

Status of Wikivoyage tests in Incubator
by MF-Warburg 01 May '13

01 May '13

Hi, there are 4 quite active test projects of Wikivoyage in Incubator currently: All are obvious cases of eligibility. https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wy/da - Activity: http://toolserver.org/~pathoschild/catanalysis/?cat=0&title=Wy/da&wiki=incu… quite good, at least 4 users every month since four months. However, many articles still contain headlines only. I suggest revisiting in one month. https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wy/el - Activity: http://toolserver.org/~pathoschild/catanalysis/?cat=0&title=Wy/el&wiki=incu… 6 or 7 active users, since five months. They also have a number of headline only articles, but also decently worked out pages. I suggest to APPROVE. Therefore, the check of localisation: Core is nearly complete, and translation is going on, see the activity graph on http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Portal:El https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wy/id - Activity: http://toolserver.org/~pathoschild/catanalysis/?cat=0&title=Wy/id&wiki=incu… Active since 6 months, unfortunately rather small numbers of active users. The articles are mostly short, but at least they don't have headline-only pages. I suggest revisiting in one month. https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wy/vi - Activity: http://toolserver.org/~pathoschild/catanalysis/?cat=0&title=Wy/vi&wiki=incu… Active since 3 months. ca. 6 active users, and IPs, bots. They've created a massive number of articles, but most are headlines-only or contain only information about the history of the place. Here too, I propose to look at it later again. Best regards, MF-Warburg
