Hi!
Can we perhaps approve Georgian Wikisource already? :)
It has LOTS of pages in the Multilingual Wikisource, and recently, they
were recategorized.
https://meta.toolforge.org/catanalysis/?title=Georgian&cat=1&wiki=sourceswi…
I can't think of a reason to keep it there.

Hi,
See
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_A…
I think that the proposal is sensible:
* ak is a macro language code ( https://iso639-3.sil.org/code/aka ), which
includes Twi (tw) and Fante (fat). Avoiding macro language codes is in line
with our general policy.
* Anecdotally, over the years, lots of people from Ghana told me about
their confusion about where they should write, and in which variety.
* Less anecdotally, there has been good activity in the incubator and
translatewiki in Fante (fat):
translatewiki: https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Portal:Fat
incubator:
https://meta.toolforge.org/catanalysis/index.php?cat=0&title=Wp/fat&wiki=in…
* There are fewer than 600 articles in ak.wikipedia, and it won't be too
hard to move the good content to tw.wikipedia.
* There's much more activity in tw.wikipedia than in ak.wikipedia:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_A…
* There have been no objections on the discussion page since it was created
a month ago.
So I'd suggest approving that. I'd further suggest removing Akan as a
language for MediaWiki localization: there are almost no translations into
it, and almost all of those that exist are identical to the translations of
the same strings into Twi (
https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:Translate?filter=translated&action=p…
)
All that said, I have been talking a lot to editors from Ghana in the last
few years, and some of them are personal friends, so it's possible I have a
conflict of interest or an incomplete understanding of how things work
there. Other opinions are welcome.

Hi all,
I would like to suggest the approval of Wikipedia in Frafra (gurwiki) [1].
The localization of the most important messages is at 91 %, but I bet we
can get them to finish those in no time. [2]
The activity level has been rising for several months. [3] Granted, the
content of the articles I've spot-checked isn't perfect, but most editors
use mobile, which is unfortunately not the easiest way to edit, so I'm
willing to be forgiving about that – surely the quality will improve with
time.
*We need to find someone to verify it, though. Any takers?*

Dear Language committee members,
Hi all.
I would like to ask for comments on the approval of *Wt/gor*. It has been
active since September 2020, and it has been 21 months that 3 or more
editors have been active[1]. There are about 1799 pages including
templates. I was aware of enough activity for this, but it has too few
headings to suggest approval even though it's a Wiktionary. But now I think
this has a decent number of headings.
Most important core messages have already been translated(100%)[2]. The
request has already been submitted[3]. This language already has Wikipedia.
I would like to ask for your opinion on the approval of this, thank you for
your consideration.
