If those potential new contributors only want to write
articles in some
little-known conlang, I won't shed any tears if they stay away.
It'd be OK, if only WPs for smaller or non-existent languages are
ignored. But I have an example of Udmurt WP, which has at least two
native supporters (and more to come, if it started and shown good).
Udmurt is a large language of more than 500 thousand speakers, it's
not a "dialect-language", but a "fully featured" language with its
own
literature, newspapers, schools (though most in rural areas), etc.
I really do hope that the Udmurt WP will appear at least during this autumn. :)
I've added Udmurt to
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Approved_requests_for_new_languages
if it is the newer shortest way.
