Hi all,
I would like to suggest the approval of Wikipedia in Frafra (gurwiki) [1].
The localization of the most important messages is at 91 %, but I bet we
can get them to finish those in no time. [2]
The activity level has been rising for several months. [3] Granted, the
content of the articles I've spot-checked isn't perfect, but most editors
use mobile, which is unfortunately not the easiest way to edit, so I'm
willing to be forgiving about that – surely the quality will improve with
time.
*We need to find someone to verify it, though. Any takers?*

Could the language committee have a position in regards to this open issue?
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T320885
We are stalling work until this is addressed.
It is an important part of identity/branding before we go further and
actively and publicly invite new users.
Thank you very much.
Dear Language committee members,
Hi all.
I would like to ask for comments on the approval of *Wt/gor*. It has been
active since September 2020, and it has been 21 months that 3 or more
editors have been active[1]. There are about 1799 pages including
templates. I was aware of enough activity for this, but it has too few
headings to suggest approval even though it's a Wiktionary. But now I think
this has a decent number of headings.
Most important core messages have already been translated(100%)[2]. The
request has already been submitted[3]. This language already has Wikipedia.
I would like to ask for your opinion on the approval of this, thank you for
your consideration.

Hi all,
I would like to suggest the approval of Shan Wikibooks (shnwikibooks) [1].
This is a little bit special, because in all of LangCom's history, we have
only approved 2 Wikibooks projects! One in 2010, and one in 2017.
By comparison, the Shan Wikipedia was approved in 2018, Shan Wiktionary in
2020 and Shan Wikivoyage in 2022, so at this rate it won't be long until
there are more Shan projects than there are Wikimedia projects. ;-)
The localization [2] is very good, and the activity levels [3] have been
stable pretty much since the very beginning of the test project, and that's
not something you see very often.
If there are no objections within a week, I will post on [[Talk:Language
committee]], and then we take it from there.

Hello all,
I would like to suggest the approval of the Wayuu Wikipedia (gucwiki) [1].
There was a lot of activity in this test Wikipedia back in 2012–2013, but
unfortunately it failed to stick (maybe because LangCom were too slow to
approve?), but last year and this year the activity has picked up again,
and the number of edits and editors for both 2021 and 2022 is looking good
(some lulls here and there, but that can happen anywhere) [2].
The localization is looking good – almost all of the most used messages
have been translated, so getting the last few ones translated as well
should be no problem. [3]
As for verification, I don't think it is necessary for this language –
Oscar from Wikimedia Venezuela has worked a lot with the community, so he
can confirm that it is indeed the right language.
If there are no objections, I will proceed with the next steps one week
from now.

Dear Language committee members,
Hello!
I would like to ask for comments on the approval of *Wq/bn*. It has been
active since September 2021, and it has been 9 months that 3 or more
editors have been active[1]. There are about 565 pages including templates.
Most important core messages have already been translated(100%)[2]. The
request has already been submitted[3]. It already has
Wikipedia/Wiktionary/Wikibooks/Wikisource/Wikivoyage, and its contributors
are also contributing to Wq/bn.
I would like to ask for your opinion on the approval of this, thank you for
your consideration.

Hi,
As you may or may not have heard, there's a long process of adopting a
Universal Code of Conduct ("UCoC") for all Wikimedia platforms. You can
read more about it here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Universal_Code_of_Conduct
One of the things that are being discussed now is how will this Code of
Conduct be enforced. A proposal under discussion is here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Revised_enforceme…
It's a very long page, and you don't have to read it all if you don't want
to, but there is a part in it that seems to me to have a certain
non-obvious relationship to the Langcom. It recommends a list of people who
should explicitly confirm their adherence to the Code of Conduct once it's
ratified (section 2.1). The current suggestion is Board members, Wikimedia
Foundation staff, Wikimedia affiliates staff, their representatives, and
Wikimedia trademark users.
On the talk page there, I suggested that the Code of Conduct should also be
confirmed by people who request to create new wikis. Here's what I wrote:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Revised_enfo…
Perhaps some of you want to express their opinions there (and feel free to
disagree with me, of course).
Thanks! :)
