Hoi,
No project is being accepted unless it has a valid ISO 639 code, such are our current policies. We chose to do this to avoid being "those who decide what is a language and what is not". We don't make the standards, we just use them "as they are". :) Any alternative would fall in the boundaries of "Original Research", which is not what wikipedias are about.
Currently your best option is entering the Catalan wiki and asking for space there (that's unless ISO people change their minds). Anyway, no matter how the ISO process will eventually end, making yourself an experience as an active wiki editor will be a great help for future projects. :)

Hi,
Our friends and I we're very surprised about the answers replied to my mail account because we consider Valencian different to Catalan and that's why we want to start our Wikipedia. We have a lot of articles and info explaining those differences, we have our culture, different to Catalonian culture, our traditions and our celebrations. We want to put this in our Wikipedia, but first you must understand that Valencian is not Catalan. I repeat the answer: Anybody can help?
Thanks for the replies,
Carlos.

Hi,
The intention is that you may use ca.wikipedia.org.
It is actually started by Valencians, and prominent writers there are Valencian.
