Meitei / Manipuri (mni) Wikipedia and Wiktionary
by MF-Warburg 11 Jan '21

11 Jan '21

The activity of Wt/mni looks quite good: https://meta.toolforge.org/catanalysis/index.php?cat=0&title=Wt/mni&wiki=in… This is the 7th month of continuous activity as usually defined, and the project is semi-continuously active since mid-2018. The most-used msgs are almost complete: https://robin.toolforge.org/?tool=codelookup&code=mni I'll add that the test-Wikipedia also has considerable activity: https://meta.toolforge.org/catanalysis/index.php?cat=0&title=Wp/mni&wiki=in… I propose to approve mni Wiktionary as the first project in that language, and hope that the Wikipedia can soon follow. Thoughts?

Closure of Northern Luri Wikipedia
by Amir Sarabadani 13 Dec '20

13 Dec '20

Hey, This is a notification that I started the discussion of closing Northern Luri Wikipedia: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_N… I have asked again from different people, and again I got "we don't understand this and we can't read it". Mardetanha independently asked too and he also got the same thing. Funnily enough, some people told me that they don't speak Luri (they are Kuridish or Lak) and they actually can understand the wiki which puts us in the similar situation of scowiki but with no hope that we can fix the wiki. Now some new users are being created to oppose the closure discussion, it seems they are at least meatpuppet: https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Meta:Requests_for_CheckUser_in… I also got some private messages that I can share with the committee if needed. Also I ask the committee to reconsider eligibility of Northern Luri Wiknews: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikinews_Norther… Best -- Amir (he/him)

Re: [Langcom] Wikipedia Kamassian

Hello, does the kamassian wiki pages have to be deleted? The russian loans are very small in number because 1600+ words are documented. Also even if it cant get accepted, instead of deleting all pages can it be left like the enets wikiincubator, people can see the pages but is rejected. -ValtteriLahti12 Отправлено с iPhone

Fwd: Tachelhit Wikipedia Script converter

---------- Forwarded message --------- De : Zakaria Amouch Baou <zikoamouch(a)gmail.com> Date: mer. 18 nov. 2020 à 21:16 Subject: Fwd: Tachelhit Wikipedia Script converter To: <wikimedia-tamazight(a)lists.wikimedia.org> ---------- Forwarded message --------- De : Zakaria Amouch Baou <zikoamouch(a)gmail.com> Date: mer. 18 nov. 2020 à 21:14 Subject: Tachelhit Wikipedia Script converter To: <mailman(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Hello there , We have a problem in the writing system. Currently, Tachelhit Wikipedia ( Wp/shi https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/shi ) is built on Latin script base. After our discussions we came to conclusion that Tachelhit Wikipedia should be based and developed on Latin script. We also need to change the convertor; We do have now a script converter from "Tifinagh to Latin", but since we worked with the latin, we need to change the script converter to "Latin to Tifinagh" for people who uses the tifinagh alphabet. Also we do have a problem on the native name of the language, since we are using the Berber Latin alphabet ( take a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berber_Latin_alphabet ) the name Tachelhit in our latin script will be " Taclḥit ", and not " Tašlḥiyt ". this problem is also present in the actual script convertor we have a " ⵛ => š " while it should be " ⵛ => c ". I created a task in phabricator , here is the link : https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T266672 Thanks

Ojibwe code for Wikidata
by Amir E. Aharoni 30 Nov '20

30 Nov '20

Hi, Can anybody help deciding which code to add to Wikidata for the Ojibwe language? "oj" looks like a macro language, and it's probably not a big problem in this case, but I prefer not to decide it all by myself.

Wikipedia Kamassian

Here is an interesting request: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Kamass… They already created some pages on Incubator: https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/xas/%D0%BE%D1%81%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%… "The last native speaker of the Kamassian dialect, Klavdiya Plotnikova, died in 1989. Kamassian was spoken in Russia, north of the Sayan Mountains, by Kamasins. There is an attempted revival of Kamassian with sligthly less than 10 people involved" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamassian_language
