As I mentioned recently, I am going to jump to 2018 requests at this point. We still have
a substantial backup to clear, but I also want the Committee to start appearing more
responsive to what's currently going on. (Oliver asked recently whether he should
comment/interact on-wiki, and the answer is unquestionably "Yes!" It is far
better for all of you to see directly what is going on than always to depend on my
commentary.)
* Wikipedia Indonesian–Arabic Script
(
Jawi)<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikiped…pt>:
No language code, and no evidence this couldn't be accomplished with a script
converter. Rejecting.
* Wikipedia
Rejang<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipe…
(rej): This is an Indonesian language with about 350,000 speakers. Test has 50 pages.
Eligible.
* Wikipedia
Haryanvi<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wiki…
(bcg): This is an Indian language with about 8 million speakers. New test project
recently started. Eligible.
* Wikipedia
Masai<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikiped…
(mas): This is an East African language with around 1 million speakers. No test project so
far. On hold.
* Wikipedia
Masovian<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wiki…an>:
Masovian is the principal dialect of Polish, so a Wikipedia in this language would
effectively be another Polish Wikipedia. There is no language code. Rejecting.
