[Foundation-l] Following the conventions: seperating Wikisource

[Ray Saintonge]

Though the language for the Devanagari script article was not specified, 
the other example was marked [[Category:Armenian]].  Establishing the 
proper ISO code used to refer to a language is not the sort of thing 
that needs to be discussed by a committee.  Standards already exist.  
Any single committee member should be able to provide that information 
on request, and probably within 24 hours.

In any case I think that the "technical disaster" of having wrongfully 
coded small corpus languages is less troubling than the real disaster of 
small databases that retain long term vandalism because nobody ever 
looks there.
