Thanks,

I have written to Erik Anonby (the author of the most recent linguistic article on Northern Luri: "Update on Luri: How many languages?" published by the Cambridge Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society in 2003) asking him whether he is sufficiently well-versed in Northern Luri to verify the content on the incubator, or if not, whether he could suggest someone else.

Hoi,
Sorry, I am fine with having a Northern Luri project. I would like it to be started in Wikidata asap and I do want an external expert, I am happy when one is suggested to us.
Thanks,

Sorry, Gerard, for probably annoying you but you're fine with *what*?
Finding an outsider? Summarising N.Luri's progress for me?

Good luck with finding one "outsider".

If he has been contributing to the Northern Luri Wikipedia, he would not be our preferred person to go to for verification. Verification should be done by someone not connected to wikipedia, i.e. an outsider who could look at the wiki articles through an unbiased lens.
And anyway, before we can take the step towards verification, we first have to agree that Northern Luri Wikipedia has fulfilled all requirements prior to the step of verification. I would hope that one of the LangCom members could summarise Northern Luri's progress again for computationally challenged folks like me.

Thanks,
Oliver

See here, it seems they have been trying to contact you guys for the verification.

After I researched, I found a lot of articles around the Internet only written in Persian by a person named Gholamreza Mehramooz (Persian: غلامرضا مهرآموز, pronounced: [ɣolɒːmɾezɒː mehɾɒːmuːz) about Luri languages. After I contacted Mohammad Mogoei (User:Mogoeilor), it seems like Mr. Mehramooz actually is a university professor and he has PhD, and he has been contributing to Northern Luri Wikipedia under user name User:‏Mehramooz, please contact him for the verification.

Have we passed step #1 yet? i.e. has Northern Luri fulfilled the requirements for leaving the incubator?
If yes, is the aforementioned Erik Anonby an acceptable reference? I've actually met him several years ago at a linguistics conference, so if we all agree that we've concluded step #1, I'd be happy to contact him to see whether he himself could verify Northern Luri or whether he could recommend someone else to do so for us.

Fwiw,
Oliver
