Proposal for closing Old English & Interlingue Wikibooks
by MF-Warburg 24 Nov '14

24 Nov '14

Hi all, we have several closure proposals which should be decided... Here are the first two: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_O… Reasons are outlined on the page; the majority of users agrees. To summarize: - Wikibooks is for textbooks and manuals, but nobody is writing them in this extinct language nor is there much reason why someone would want to /read/ them. Wikisource is the project that should exist for this language. In fact, some pages on the wiki do belong to Wikisource, and should be moved there. This is also consistent with Langcom's previous decisions that ancient languages should above all have Wikisource, but the other projects are not all suitable for them. => I propose: Close, move content to Incubator, or, where appropriate, to Wikisoure. ---- https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_I… The wiki is a case of "absence of content since its creation". Of the few page, some should even be moved to Wiktionary (as some people noted in the discussion). => I propose: Close, move content to Incubator, or, where appropriate, to Wiktionary.

Hi Jan-Bart, I am very pleased to announce that the Language committee proposes to approve Wikipedia in Maithili.

If we really cannot get a linguist to verify a test-project's content, I am fine with it if we determine the content is ok in some other way. But as far as I know, Red Hat is not a company famous for all the linguists it employs. Let's at least wait until there /is/ a reply from the contributors, even if it's maybe that there aren't really scholars who can be asked. If they don't reply, it shows that they have gone inactive anyway and we shouldn't approve ;-P

Approval of Wikisource in Oriya
by Amir E. Aharoni 03 Oct '14

03 Oct '14

Hi Jan-Bart, The Language committee proposes to approve Wikisource in Oriya (also known as Odia). Request page: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikisource_Oriya There are several users who constantly develop the content in this language in the Multilingual Wikisource, and we believe that it will develop even better in its own domain, or.wikisource.org . As usual, we will proceed in 4 days, if we don't hear anything to the contrary from the Board. Kind regards, Amir and the Language committee -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com ‪“We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T. Moore‬

I'm also ok with it. (Btw: please remember to use the new mailing list, langcom@, not langcom-l@ nowadays). At Wikimania I talked to Ganesh Paudel about Maithili Wikipedia as well, also about finding someone for the verification of the content. Now, nothing against speakers of a language at Red Hat, but if at all possible, I'd still prefer if we contact a linguist, if at all possible. So, let me contact Ganesh about the linguists known to him who could be willing to verify it; and I'll get back to you with the results. 2014-09-27 16:08 GMT+02:00 Jon Harald Søby <jhsoby(a)gmail.com>: > I am also in favor, FWIW.

Use incubatorwiki instead of incubatorwiki_p. The latter is a relict from toolserver. Am 24.09.2014 11:35 schrieb "Amir E.
