It appears that all the other languages in the same cluster as Krio (Okinawan, Pipil, Mapudungun, and Tarifit) may have the same issue. Either they are too small in terms of the number of speakers or the editors have not been active recently. Therefore, we are now proposing a language from a different cluster: Arakanese (see screenshot). What are your thoughts on this language as a suitable candidate for the experiment?

Thanks! I see that we have received positive responses from three more language communities: Tdd https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wp/tdd Rsk https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wp/rsk Ann https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wp/ann
I have not yet received any response from the Kri language, and we are past the deadline. I pinged the active editors in other venues as well, but my impression is that the editors have not been active recently. I will talk to our team to see if we can propose other alternative suggestions.

Yes, the former. Verification [of the content by a linguist] would be the more complete sentence.

Thank you! Is it because the Language Committee found a linguist for Pannonian Rusyn, or did the community express interest to the Language Committee in participating in the experiment? I am trying to understand the sequence. *Srishti Sethi* Senior Developer Advocate Wikimedia Foundation https://wikimediafoundation.org/

I just posted on the user talk pages. It took us some time to generate the editor list (Phab:T374552 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T374552). We considered the top 5 editors for each wiki and then filtered out those with missing user pages on Incubator. In total, we posted on the talk pages of 16 editors https://incubator.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AContributions&target=SSethi+%28WMF%29&namespace=3&tagfilter=&start=2024-09-12&end=2024-09-12&limit=50 and emailed the ones with the feature enabled.
Additionally, I see that we have just received a positive response from Wp/nr https://incubator.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Wp/nr&diff=prev&oldid=6376641 . *Srishti Sethi* Senior Developer Advocate Wikimedia Foundation https://wikimediafoundation.org/

Thanks for posting the messages. I haven't seen the message to active editors yet but I assume they are there.
Verification for Southern Ndebele has just been forwarded to the private list.
