Mr. Sapkale,
Sounds appropriate, with it being a language that isn't well-covered online. Be sure and include some Wikipedia-related stuff, too; we want the Ahirani writers and readers to understand this is the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit. Ideally, the main page ought to provide enough material on it to get someone at least interested in editing and provide links to learn how to do this.
Also-- I'm sure you know this, but in case it was an oversight-- the map ought to use the same language as the wiki. You can probably find some good image editors over at the graphic design WikiProject on the English Wikipedia; they can do some pretty amazing work if you tell them exactly what to do.
Hope that helps, Bob

Hi Bob,
Just to explain you about the meaning of text. I have just written some information about ahirani language like where it is spoken, how many speakers are there etc. Also at the bottom if you see, there are two image icons which are going to be linked to articles written in ahirani languages on history, geography, science, maths etc. So all the pages links would go from there. soon I will be creating a section of news on right side where we will update about daily world news, information, happenings..
Regards,
Deepak Sapkale

Hoi, At the Incubator the notion of using translations produced by other people then the ones who are incubating the project is seriously not welcome. At the Incubator we must see people involved in the language itself. Anything else defeats the purpose of the Incubator and the language policies. When there is doubt to the actual size and proficiency of the people involved it is reason to not allow the language to go to the next level.
Remember, the language policy was created in order to prevent the many dead projects we still have. The growing number of dead projects almost put a stop to the creation of any new language projects. It is important to realise that the policy ensures the vitality of new projects. Translations from outside the WMF are not welcome at the Incubator. Thanks, Gerard

Any good translator sites where we can translate the page for free? I'd give an opinion but don't read Ahirani. ;)

Hi Gerard,
I have just returned from my hometown. At hometown, I talked with
couple of my colleagues and relatives for providing support for wikipedia Ahirani and their feedback was very good. Also I just saw that the language has been verified as eligible and I would like to say thanks to everyone for this. So feeling really cook and exciting. So, I will speed up my work and so lets face the next challenges.
Regards,
deepak

Ho aIndeed. Please ask for support for your language at
translatewiki.net on the [[Support]] page as well. Formally we suggest to the board that from a linguistic point of view there is / there is not a reason to approve a future project.
Thanks, Gerard

AhiraniHoi, Please read the instructions that come with the page. The bottom line
is
that when we do not know a proposer or people working on an incubator project, the language committee will not consider it for a long time
and in
the end reject the proposal. Thanks, Gerard On 8 December 2011 18:40, deepak sapkaledeepak_sapkale@hotmail.com
