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 letters W and X.
== Waali == Request: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Waali Code: wlx My take: Eligible.
== Western Apache == Request: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Western... Code: apw My take: Waiting. The language is probably living and unique, but the activity has been very low till now, and it's unclear how well do the few contributors actually know the language. I tried pinging the users who were involved.
== Western Balochi == Request: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Western... Code: bgn My take: Waiting, but this topic deserves a more detailed email. I'll write it ASAP.
== Xibe == Request: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Xibe Code: sjo My take: Waiting. If I'm not mistaken, with 30,000 speakers, this language is the most spoken one in the Tungusic family, and there's even a newspaper in it. I'd love to mark it eligible, but the contributor of most of the content in the Incubator claims only "sjo-2" knowledge on the user page, so I'm not sure that there's a beginning of a viable community.
