I think < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikiquote_Assame…> might fulfill the requirements for approval. Activity is lasting for seven months now and the localisation is in a decent state. But, to be fair, a random selection of pages shows many are rather short and don't seem to have many quotes? https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wq/as/%E0%A6%85%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BE%E0%A… https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wq/as/%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%95%E0%A… https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wq/as/%E0%A6%96%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B2%E0%A… https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wq/as/%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%B0%E0%A… https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wq/as/%E0%A6%85%E0%A7%B0%E0%A7%82%E0%A… I don't know if this is common for Wikiquotes in general. What are your thoughts?

Georgian Wikisource

by Amir E. Aharoni

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. -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com ‪“We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T.

Closing proposal for Hebrew Wikinews

by MF-Warburg

There is a proposal at < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Soft_close_o…>. I suggest to reject it, as looking at the recent changes, the project does not seem to be inactive now: < https://he.wikinews.org/wiki/%D7%9E%D7%99%D7%95%D7%97%D7%93:%D7%A9%D7%99%D7… >

Pannonian Rusyn (rsk) - eligible?

by Amir E. Aharoni

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. -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com ‪“We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T.

Eligibility of Thao

by MF-Warburg

This concerns < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Thao_2> and < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wiktionary_Thao>. Thao language (ssf) has for a time been classified as extinct by SIL, but is now recognized as a living language again. See < https://iso639-3.sil.org/request/2021-028> for the change request. I propose marking both requests as eligible, for this reason.

Middle English (& repeated requests)

by MF-Warburg

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.
