I'd like to see him create some content, too. But you don't need to ask permission to mark living languages with a reasonable number of speakers as "eligible"; you can just do it.

Hi,
At the Wikimedia Hackathon last week, I spoke to a speaker of Fon, a language of Benin. He added a request for a new Fon Wikipedia and started translating the interface.
The language has a code and is living and spoken by several millions of people (statistics differ, between 2–4 million). Any objections to marking as eligible?
