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.

Request for comments on approval of Central Dusun Wikipedia
by Sotiale Wiki 28 Apr '24

28 Apr '24

Dear Language committee members, Hi all. I would like to ask for comments on the approval of *Wp/dtp*. It has been active since Mar 2023, and it has been 6 months that 3 or more editors have been active[1]. There are about 2037 pages including templates. Most important core messages have already been translated(99.65%)[2]. The request has already been submitted[3]. Its current proposal is *Dusun*, but I think it should be changed to *Central Dusun*. This is also the language name they use on incubatorwiki. I would like to ask for your opinion on the approval of this, thank you for your consideration.

Proposed approval of the Mossi Wikipedia
by Jon Harald Søby 16 Apr '24

16 Apr '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).

Georgian Wikisource
by Amir E. Aharoni 11 Apr '24

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.

Hi, I have been asked to review approval for this. Since I'm not sure about Wikisource, I'd like to hear your opinions. Please take a look at the link below: [1] https://meta.toolforge.org/catanalysis/?title=Bahasa_Melayu&cat=1&wiki=sour… [2] https://wikisource.org/wiki/Category:Bahasa_Melayu There are approximately 800 pages. Activities seem to be fine. Sotiale

Request for comments on approval of Wikisource Burmese

This project currently has approximately 3000 pages, excluding template and portal namespaces. I think this could be approved, but I'm curious what other colleagues think.

Shan Wikinews
by Sotiale Wiki 27 Feb '24

27 Feb '24

Hi. There is a request for approval for a new Wikinews project and it meets the general criteria. Due to the nature of Wikinews, it is worrisome that a small number of editors continue to edit, but this is just my opinion. I'm curious what other colleagues think. Because Wikinews is as special as Wikisource, I think everyone may have different opinions. * https://meta.toolforge.org/catanalysis/index.php?cat=0&title=Wn/shn&wiki=in… Sotiale <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> 바이러스가 없습니다.www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>

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.
