Tachelhit Wikipedia
by MF-Warburg 27 Jan '21

27 Jan '21

I think Tachelhit Wikipedia might already be ready for approval. Links: https://meta.toolforge.org/catanalysis/index.php?cat=0&title=Wp/shi&wiki=in… https://robin.toolforge.org/?tool=codelookup&code=shi There's the script converter issue, recently mentioned on this list, but I don't see why the lack of a converter should stop the wiki going forward in one script at least.

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?

Hi, I suggest approving the Altay Wikipedia: https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/alt The activity is OK, the localization is complete, and I've forwarded an expert approval to the private list. Any objections? Also, happy new year! :) -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com ‪“We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T. Moore‬

Bashkir and Georgian Wikisource
by Amir E. Aharoni 23 Dec '20

23 Dec '20

Hi, Does anyone object to approving creating Wikisource domains in Georgian (ka) and Bashkir (ba)? Both languages have Wikipedias, so expert verification is not needed. And both have 100% translation for ProofreadPage and continuous localization activity. The activity in Multilingual Wikisource is up and down, but given that both languages have very active Wikipedia communities and the activity checking is a bit harder to use for Wikisource than it is for Wikipedia Incubator, I don't think that it's a big problem. Let's approve them. -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com ‪“We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T. Moore‬

Closure of Northern Luri Wikipedia
by Amir Sarabadani 12 Dec '20

12 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
by Valtteri Lahti 08 Dec '20

08 Dec '20

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
