Proposed approval for 5 Wikisources in languages of Philippines
by Satdeep Gill 07 Dec '24

07 Dec '24

Hi folks, I would like to propose approval of these 5 Wikisources projects in the languages of Phillipines. 1. Ilokano Wikisource <https://wikisource.org/wiki/Main_Page/Ilokano> has been active 6 months <https://meta.toolforge.org/catanalysis/?title=Ilokano&cat=1&wiki=sourceswiki> (Request page on Meta <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikisource_Iloka…> ) 2. Cebuano Wikisource <https://wikisource.org/wiki/Main_Page/Sinugboanon> has been active for 6 months <https://meta.toolforge.org/catanalysis/?title=sinugboanon&cat=1&wiki=source…> (Request page on Meta <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikisource_Cebua…> ) 3. Waray Wikisource <https://wikisource.org/wiki/Main_Page/Waray> has been active for 5+ months <https://meta.toolforge.org/catanalysis/?title=waray&cat=1&wiki=sourceswiki> (Request page on Meta <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikisource_Waray> ) 4. Tagalog Wikisource <https://wikisource.org/wiki/Main_Page/Tagalog> has been active for 5 months <https://meta.toolforge.org/catanalysis/?title=Tagalog&cat=1&wiki=sourceswiki> (Request page on Meta <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikisource_Tagal…> ) 5. Kapampangan Wikisource <https://wikisource.org/wiki/Main_Page/Kapampangan> has been active for 5 months <https://meta.toolforge.org/catanalysis/?title=kapampangan&cat=1&wiki=source…> (Request page on Meta <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikisource_Kapam…> ) Some of these languages need to work on translating the interface messages while others have completed the Most important messages and also some of the ProofreadPage messages. But, I can talk to the community to focus on translating messages if everyone agrees that we should start all or some of these wikis. Best Satdeep

Proposed approval of Central Kanuri Wikipedia
by Jon Harald Søby 05 Dec '24

05 Dec '24

Hi all, I'd like to propose the approval of the Central Kanuri Wikipedia (Wp/knc) [1]. The localization of the most used messages is at 94 % (I will ask them to take a look at what remains) [2], and the activity has good and stable for more than a year [3]. We have discussed Kanuri a few times on this list and the private LangCom list, but as far as I can tell, nobody has actually proposed its approval yet. IMO it's overdue. We already have expert verification, forwarded to the private list by Sotiale on May 22 this year.

Proposed approval of Tigre Wikipedia
by Satdeep Gill 22 Nov '24

22 Nov '24

Hi all, While going through the Incubator Dashboard today, I found that Tigre Wikipedia <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Tigre> has not only met the minimum requirements for the last four months, but far exceeded them by getting around 20 editors in the last two months and 8 editors already in the month of November.[Catanalysis <https://meta.toolforge.org/catanalysis/index.php?cat=0&title=wp/tig&wiki=in…> ] Most important messages <https://codelookup.toolforge.org/tig> have also been translated by more than 93%. I believe it is ready for approval. Best Satdeep

Request for comments on approval of Indonesian Wikivoyage
by Sotiale Wiki 11 Nov '24

11 Nov '24

Hi all. I would like to ask for comments on the approval of *Wy/id*. It has been active since Nov 2012, and it has been *20+ *months that 3 or more editors have been active[1]. There are about 2944 pages including templates. Most important core messages have already been translated(99.83%)[2]. The request has already been submitted[3]. *This already has idwiki*; 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=Wy/id&wiki=inc… [2] https://codelookup.toolforge.org/id [3] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikivoyage_Indon… Best regards, Sotiale

Rajasthani and Hadothi
by Amir E. Aharoni 09 Nov '24

09 Nov '24

Hallo, There are these two open requests: 1. hoj: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Hadauti 2. raj: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Rajast… raj is a macro language code, and hoj is one of the languages that belong to it. I don't know these languages, and I'm not sure what to do about them. I sent talk page messages to people who contributed to them, asking whether they actually plan to contribute to them more, and whether the current incubator articles in them look related. Until we get any substantial replies, I recommend marking the two requests as "Waiting". -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com ‪“We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T.

eligible / ineligible Wikipedia requests: Y
by Amir E. Aharoni 07 Nov '24

07 Nov '24

Hallo! I am going through https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Open_requests_for_new_languages , project by project, letter by letter, up to ten requests per email, one email per day. I am now working on Wikipedia, and today I'm handling the letter Y. There is nothing in the letter Z, so this is the last email for Wikipedia! \o/ But OK, there will be a few more for some follow-up ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I took the liberty to speedily delete those: * https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Yilan_… - practically no content in the request. * https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Yurok - created by a banned user, and there was very little discussion and very little content in the Incubator. == Yaeyama == Request: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Yaeyama Code: rys My take: Waiting. The language is small, but living, and at least some of the articles in the current Incubator were contributed by someone who appears to actually know it. I pinged them and invited them to continue. But I'd love to see more activity or expert advice from someone who knows the minor languages of Japan before marking it as eligible. == Yonaguni == Request: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Yonagu… Code: yoi My take: Waiting. Some content in the Incubator appears to be legit. But the language has under 1000 speakers, and some of the contributors to the Incubator are banned users or people who don't even claim to know the language. So, as with Yaeyama, I'd feel more comfortable with expert advice. == Yoron == Request: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Yoron Code: yox My take: Delete the request and the Incubator content if there is no reply at https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Jsph457 from the user who created it. -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com ‪“We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T.

eligible / ineligible Wikipedia requests: E
by Amir E. Aharoni 07 Nov '24

07 Nov '24

Hallo! I am going through https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Open_requests_for_new_languages , project by project, letter by letter, up to ten requests per email, one email per day. I am now working on Wikipedia, and today I'm handling the letter E. Before I go into proper requests, I should mention that I took the liberty to reject https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Eldeine , which appeared to be a one-person constructed language without an ISO code. == East Frisian == Request: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_East_F… Code: frs My take: I don't have one. The request page is quite confusing. The page title says "East Frisian", but the listed code is "frs", which is listed "East Frisian Low Saxon" in ISO 639 3 and Ethnologue sites, while the English Wikipedia says that the closest thing to just "East Frisian" is stq, in which there is a Wikipedia already. In addition, some people in the discussion claim that this language is the same as nds, and others say that it is distinct. So I cannot propose anything at the moment. == Eastern Arrernte == Request: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Easter… Code: aer My take: Probably *Delete*. The language is probably eligible, but the request was created by a blocked user without adding substantial details. I would have already deleted the request page for that reason alone if there wasn't some content in the Incubator: https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:PrefixIndex/Wp/aer/ . That content, however, is quite suspect, too: it consists of five pages, all of which are very short, and they were mostly edited by an anonymous user. So the deletion of the Incubator should be considered, too. == Eastern Balochi == Request: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Easter… Code: bgp My take: Nothing at the moment, but I am in contact with a promising expert, and I hope to have a more substantial update some time this month. See the email about the letter B. == Edo == Request: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Edo Code: bin My take: Eligible. == Ekpeye == Request: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Ekpeye Code: ekp My take: Eligible. -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com ‪“We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T.
