I User:Stevertigo formally request
sysop/admin/developer level access to the Arabic
Wikipedia. Among the first issues would be to deal
with the encoding there. UTF-8 or 1256 are
canditates, but it would require some proper testing.
My Arabic is very limited, though, and hopefully some
changes ought give some life and perhaps credibility
to the Ar.Wikipedia.
I User:Stevertigo formally request sysop/admin
developer level access to the Simple Enlgish Wikpedia.
Among the first issues would be to deal with finding
a use for the simple. Wikipedia -- among my proposals
(
http://simple.wikipedia.com/wiki.cgi?SEnpl_For_Translation
)
is the possiblitly of using simple English as a base
for translating the vast catalog of English articles
to other languages. By allowing the Simple Wikipedia
to act as a kind of firewall, sandbox, embassy... any
problems arising from the perception that non-English
speakers and English
speakers have of each other, will be mitigated.
If interested, please see the recent changes made to
the Simple.wikipedia --
