Hi,
There's a new request for Pannonian Rusyn, also known as Southern Ruthenian
or Rusnak at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Pannon…
(I gave User:Keresturec technical help with creating the page, but the
request is his.)
The previous one was rejected, because there already was another language
called Rusyn with the code rue. There are two languages with this name, one
mostly spoken in Ukraine and Slovakia, and another one spoken in Serbia and
Croatia.
In 2022, the new code "rsk" was approved for the one spoken in Serbia and
Croatia. The PDFs here are quite interesting:
https://iso639-3.sil.org/request/2021-005
They make a convincing case that:
* The language is distinct, and is not a dialect of Serbian or of
Carpathian Rusyn.
* The language is small, but developed and active. It has stable
orthography, and is used in book publishing, education, government, and
daily life.
I therefore recommend marking that request as eligible.
Creating the Incubator in this language is also blocked by AbuseFilter. I
asked about this on
https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Incubator:Administrators%27_noticeboar…
and MF-Warburg suggested going through the request on Meta.

Here's the newest iteration of the request <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Middle…>
which I take it is obviously getting rejected.
At this opportunity, I wonder whether we should implement some limitation
(e.g. via Titleblacklist) against creating request no. 2, 3, 4, 5 without
discussing it with Langcom first. It's a bit pointless to reject requests
over and over again, just because people don't accept the policy and create
a new one. Meanwhile, if for example a language was previously rejected but
has now been recognized in ISO 639-3, that can be easily signalled and a
new request created.
Dear Language committee members,
Hello. I hope you are staying safe.
I would like to ask for comments on the approval of Wp/guw. It has been
active since June 2021, and it has been 6 months that 3 or more editors
have been active[1]. There are about 236 pages including templates.
Of course, LTA is included in the number of editors as fake contributors to
this project, but even taking that into account, it is true that more than
3 contributors were active.
Most used core messages have already been translated[2]. The request has
already been submitted[3].
I would like to ask for your opinion on the approval of this. Thank you.
