[Wikipedia-l] About creating a new language on Wikipedia

[Berto 'd Sera]

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.
