Shan Wikinews
by Sotiale Wiki 15 Sep '24

15 Sep '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>

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 06 Jun '24

06 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 Batak Mandailing Wikipedia
by Sotiale Wiki 22 May '24

22 May '24

Hi all. I would like to ask for comments on the approval of *Wp/btm*. It has been active since Nov 2017, and it has been 9 months that 3 or more editors have been active[1]. There are about 2530 pages including templates. Most important core messages have already been translated(100%)[2]. The request has already been submitted[3]. *This already has btmwikt*; unless there are special circumstances, expert verification is not likely to be necessary. I would like to ask for your opinion on the approval of this, thank you for your consideration. [1] https://meta.toolforge.org/catanalysis/index.php?cat=0&title=wp/btm&wiki=in… [2] https://codelookup.toolforge.org/btm [3] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Mandai… Best regards, Sotiale

Siblings Project Lifecycle Procedure
by Victoria Doronina 01 May '24

01 May '24

Dear LangCom members, The short information provided below is just FYI, so no action is asked from you as a committee. As you know, to deal with the requests for opening/closing Wikimedia projects (not the language projects the LangCom deals with), the WMF Board has created a Wikimedia Foundation Sibling Projects Task Force* <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Community_Affairs_Comm…> . Natalia and I are informing you that we are planning to have a public feedback period on the Procedure for Sibling Project Lifecycle in May/June (we are trying to squeeze it in between the draft Movement Charter feedback and its ratification). Here is a draft document itself, in case you are interested -- the idea is to try to have a conversation about policy and approach to opening and closing projects and reasons to (not) do so: Copy of Procedure for Sibling Project Lifecycle <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1u2Cun7ZJItMjloNhF3wtZHvNEzFEIJJLf7R6v1x…> -- Kind regards, Victoria Victoria Doronina <https://wikimediafoundation.org/profile/dr-victoria-doronina/> Trustee Sister Projects Taskforce Lead Wikimedia Foundation <https://wikimediafoundation.org/> Imagine a world in which everyone can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. Please help us make it a reality.
