Request for comments on approval of Mooré Wikipedia

by Sotiale Wiki

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.

Proposed approval of Tulu Wiktionary

by Jon Harald Søby

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.

Request for comments on approval of Dagaare Wikipedia

by Sotiale Wiki

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

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).

Balochi - one language or more

by Amir E. Aharoni

Hi, A discussion has been going on for several weeks, mostly at translatewiki, about which code to use for the Balochi language. In translatewiki, we already support bgn (Western) and bcc (Southern). There are quite a lot of translations into both of them. There are also Incubator Wikipedias in both. A new user is asking to use "bal", which is the macro language code that encompasses all varieties of Balochi. Now, I don't have a strong opinion about it myself, and the Langcom policy about it says that they are decided on a case-by-case basis. Does anyone have an opinion? My intuition tells me that if the varieties are only in speech and there is just one written language, then we can probably go for the macro language, but I'm really not sure if that is actually true, and I'm not sure how to verify it. Does anyone know? Thanks! -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com ‪“We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T. Moore‬
