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.

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).

Fwd: A problem of Sylheti Wikipedia and possible soultions

by MF-Warburg

---------- 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.

"Global Council" discussions

by MF-Warburg

I have noticed that at < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Charter/Content/Global_Council#Res…>, it is suggested to make the proposed Global Council responsible for oversight over Langcom, instead of - like it currently is - the Board. So far, nobody has invited us to comment on this, about which I am surprised. My first impression is that it would not change a lot, but it still implies there will be *some* changes to the Langcom processes. For now, I just wanted to send a quick email to inform you all, but I think it would be worthwhile to look into that and to make a statement about the proposal that is backed by the consensus of the committee.
