Hi all,
we have several closure proposals which should be decided... Here are the
first two:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_O…
Reasons are outlined on the page; the majority of users agrees.
To summarize:
- Wikibooks is for textbooks and manuals, but nobody is writing them in
this extinct language nor is there much reason why someone would want to
/read/ them.
Wikisource is the project that should exist for this language.
In fact, some pages on the wiki do belong to Wikisource, and should be
moved there. This is also consistent with Langcom's previous decisions that
ancient languages should above all have Wikisource, but the other projects
are not all suitable for them.
=> I propose: Close, move content to Incubator, or, where appropriate, to
Wikisoure.

The wiki is a case of "absence of content since its creation". Of the few
page, some should even be moved to Wiktionary (as some people noted in the
discussion).
=> I propose: Close, move content to Incubator, or, where appropriate, to
Wiktionary.
Dear All,
The much awaited project Maithili Wikipedia has been approved by the
Language Committee today. Please see
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Maithi…
(some settings are still needed to proceed).
Now we have got the free and open encyclopedia in the second largest
language spoken in Nepal.
I want to thanks each and everyone who contributed in the project. and also
want to thank the Language committee for approving the project.

Hi Jan-Bart,
I am very pleased to announce that the Language committee proposes to
approve Wikipedia in Maithili. Request page:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Maithi…
As a side note, this will be the first full-fledged Wikimedia project
created in a new language since the creation of the Tuvan Wikipedia in
August 2013.
As usual, we will proceed in 4 days, if we don't hear anything to the
contrary from the Board.
Kind regards,
Amir and the Language committee

I don't. If we really cannot get a linguist to verify a test-project's
content, I am fine with it if we determine the content is ok in some other
way. But as far as I know, Red Hat is not a company famous for all the
linguists it employs.
Let's at least wait until there /is/ a reply from the contributors, even if
it's maybe that there aren't really scholars who can be asked. If they
don't reply, it shows that they have gone inactive anyway and we shouldn't
approve ;-P
Hi Jan-Bart,
The Language committee proposes to approve Wikisource in Oriya (also known
as Odia). Request page:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikisource_Oriya
There are several users who constantly develop the content in this language
in the Multilingual Wikisource, and we believe that it will develop even
better in its own domain, or.wikisource.org .
As usual, we will proceed in 4 days, if we don't hear anything to the
contrary from the Board.
Kind regards,
Amir and the Language committee
