What people aren't realising is that there are people already supporting them.
sc: I just requested because I thought it should exist, and I learned from that.
scn: however had an entire community that pledged to help work on it,
and that's why I requested it.
Friulian had the support of two Wikipedians, and that's why I requested it.
I wouldn't request a Welsh Wikipedia just because I "like welsh" or
something. I'd only request it if some people or a community had
expressed interest and pledged some level of support if it were to be
created.
