Proposed approval of the Mossi Wikipedia
by Jon Harald Søby 06 Aug '24

06 Aug '24

Hello all, I would like to propose the approval of the Mossi Wikipedia (Wp/mos) [1][2]. The activity has been high and stable for several months [3], and localization is good [4] (only 17 messages missing out of the most important messages, that can be done in no time). IIRC, Amir has already been in touch with this community quite a lot, so I don't think separate verification is necessary in this case, but I'll leave that up to him (and the rest of you, if anyone has objections).

Proposed approval of Tulu Wiktionary
by Jon Harald Søby 05 Jun '24

05 Jun '24

Hello all, I would like to propose the approval of the Tulu Wiktionary (tcywiktionary) [1][2]. The localization is good [3] (coverage of "most used messages" can be improved, but there is an ongoing localization effort), and the activity level has been good for the last three months [4]. You may notice that there was a lot of activity for several months when the test wiki was started in 2018 until about early 2020, and then a drop in activity, but it has risen again lately, and has several of the same users returning to activity, which IMO is a good sign. There is already a Tulu Wikipedia, so no verification should be necessary.

Georgian Wikisource

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.

Fwd: A problem of Sylheti Wikipedia and possible soultions

---------- Forwarded message --------- Von: Ami Keu <amitumi1234amitumi1234(a)gmail.com> Date: Mi., 14. Juni 2023 um 23:21 Uhr Subject: Fwd: A problem of Sylheti Wikipedia and possible soultions To: <langcom-owner(a)lists.wikimedia.org> ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Ami Keu <amitumi1234amitumi1234(a)gmail.com> Date: Wed, 14 June, 2023 at 10:05 PM Subject: A problem of Sylheti Wikipedia and possible soultions To: jhsoby(a)wikimedia.no <jhsoby(a)wikimedia.no> Hi Jon, I don't know if this is the correct email to write this. Thank you for initiating approval for Sylheti Wikipedia https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/langcom@lists.wikimedia.org/thr… I would like to point out one thing. Langcom should be aware that Sylheti wikipedia uses sylheti nagri script. And not many sylheti people can actually read or write this script. Most sylheti uses Bengali alphabet to write sylheti (also see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Sylhetis#Sylheti_nagri_script ) I can see there is a discussion about this on sylheti wikipedia: https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wp/syl/ꠝꠥꠟ_ꠚꠣꠔꠣ#আমার_সামান্য_এক_প… where a sylheti pointed out that there is an organization did a survey and found out only 12-25 thousands people can actually write or read this script. There are c. 10.3 millions sylheti, which means sylheti wikipedia will be un-accessible for vast majority of sylheti. There is also pointed out that possible solutions would be lang converter like some wiki has. I would request langcom to create or ask developer to create a lang converter for sylheti wikipedia. Mapping already exists, see https://github.com/mayeenulislam/nagri-bangla Thank you.

Proposed approval of the Igala Wikipedia
by Jon Harald Søby 09 Feb '24

09 Feb '24

Hi all, I would like to propose the approval of the Igala Wikipedia (Wp/igl) [1]. The activity has been high and stable since they properly got started back in January [2], and the localization of the most used messages is almost complete (only a few messages remaining) [3]. We will need verification since this is the first Wikimedia project in this language.

Request for comments on approval of Mooré Wikipedia
by Sotiale Wiki 19 Nov '23

19 Nov '23

Dear Language committee members, Hi all. I would like to ask for comments on the approval of *Wp/mos*. It has been active since May 2022, and it has been 10 months that 3 or more editors have been active[1]. There are about 1006 pages including templates. Most important core messages have already been translated(99.12%)[2]. The request has already been submitted[3]. Some short pages or virtually empty pages may be found in random sampling, but this is unlikely to be a major problem as I believe if they knew this, they would be able to fill the pages with content. I would like to ask for your opinion on the approval of this, thank you for your consideration.

Request for comments on approval of Dagaare Wikipedia
by Sotiale Wiki 25 Oct '23

Dear Language committee members, Hi all. I would like to ask for comments on the approval of *Wp/dga*. It has been active since March 2023, and it has been 7 months that 3 or more editors have been active[1]. There are about 1453 pages including templates. Most important core messages have already been translated(99%)[2]. The request has already been submitted[3]. It seems that editing was carried out using various methods, including editathon. A certain portion of the pages were about politicians, and there were some short pages, but improvements have been made. I've talked about this with members of the community and they've been receptive. I think they will continue to improve this in the future. I would like to ask for your opinion on the approval of this, thank you for your consideration.

Moroccan Tamazight (Wp/zgh)
by Sotiale Wiki 25 Oct '23

25 Oct '23

Hi all. I'm not familiar with the Moroccan languages, so I'd love to hear from other colleagues. I'm considering this language project as a potential candidate for approval, but I'm wondering if this is a standardization of other languages, or a distinct language from others? Since this site[1] states that there are no native speakers, I wondered if this was just standardization of other languages(the case that native speakers have a standardized language while using their own languages).
