I think even without specific language skills it might be nice to
change any language or community articles which suggest that a people
or a language is extinct to something which suggests that we do not
have recent evidence of speakers of this language and we would
encourage speakers of this language or members of this community to
contact the wiki on the discussion page to see if there are ways to
improve the article.
