The Walon Wikipedia was fortunate to have received assistance in migrating its data into Wikipedia. The Minnan Wikipedia still has articles sitting out there. But knowing the developers' time is highly constrained, we have not complained nor do we see it as a "right" to receive such help.
If someone had *asked* we'd have been happy to help... I at least never heard any request to do this.
http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2004-May/010194.html I have *asked* if anybody can help to transfer the articles from old holopedia to the newly created min-nan wikipedia but it seems that developers are too busy.
Unfortunately it seems no one noticed this at the time...
At this point it would be harder to merge two separate wikis that have undergone separate development, but we can probably arrange something if that's desired.
The dump is still out there http://tmjiang.dyndns.org/wikipedia/wikipedia-backup.sql Can we copy the old articles with history to the new min-nan wikipedia, to avoid conflict, we can try to add a tag to old article name to be xxxx_old or something like that. Once the xxxx_old articles are moved to the new min-nan wikipedia, we can do the merge or rename of the articles.
Can someone take a look at this? I'll try to get to it later in the week if not (I'm at a conference right now with limited free time).
