I am pleased to inform you that the language committee is ready to approve independent Maithili Wikipedia project.[1]
In a related development, a separate mailing list for the language which was denied earlier has been approved on my request for reconsideration. [2]
I just need an endorsement from Maithili language experts that the painstakingly developed content in the incubator project (https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:PrefixIndex/Wp/mai) is that of the language and NOT ANOTHER LANGUAGE.
I request help from any friendly quarter -- WMIN / CIS / other volunteers in this direction.
Regards,
Muzammil
[1] Email for Language Committee Member WF Warburg:
The Language committee is willing to approve it, but usually for the first Wikimedia project in a language, we contact a linguist or other scholar who is an expert in the language, and ask him to verify that the content in Incubator is indeed written in this language (as I already explained to Ganesh when we talked in London).Hello Muzammil and Ganesh,the activity of Maithili Wikipedia in Incubator is now acceptable for approval indeed.
Do you know any such linguists/expert on Maithili language which LangCom could contact for this verification?Best regards,
MF-Warburg
