Hoi,
No we have an indefinite ban on incubator for the people posing as if they
speak a language they do not speak.
Thanks,

This really upsets me. But if the content is in Urdu,
then (a) we ask
what's going on, (b) we don't approve, and (c) in all likelihood, we
propose an indef block on Incubator, given that many of the same characters
were involved in a problem around the Khowar project a couple of years back.

*Subject:* [Langcom] Wikipedia in Saraiki
Hi all!
I wanted to let you know that I'm in touch with an expert with regards to
verifying Wikipedia in Saraiki
<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fincubator.wikimedia.org%2Fwiki%2FWp%2Fskr&data=02%7C01%7C%7Cdc60e7578e584deb515d08d74b0986c2%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637060376596195282&sdata=SoLBKQzmES5TiqNIBMct9ibZ6JZQTUW2JmHRF5aXejo%3D&reserved=0>
(skr). It was previously mentioned by Seven in an email titled "Final
approval for four projects" from August 16.
The expert checked one page and said it is in Urdu and not Saraiki
(although it is *about* Saraiki topics). He said he will get back to me
to check more pages in a week or two.
However, after he said that, I've checked several pages with Google
Translate from Urdu to English, and they all produce very legible content
(for Google Translate). That makes me suspicious that maybe all the content
is in fact in Urdu – if it was in fact in a smaller language, I would
expect a certain amount of words that Google Translate just doesn't
understand.
So the question is, what do we do if it turns out that most/all content is
in Urdu?
