Request for Cape Verdean Creole eligible

by Milos Rancic

I've made the request for Wikipedia in Cape Verdean Creole [1] eligible. While it has multiple varieties, I am sure they will find a way how to deal with it if they want. It is defined by SIL/Ethnologue [2] as a single language. It is also one of the official languages of Cape Verde.

Eastern Punjabi Wikisource verified as eligible

by Milos Rancic

I've verified as eligible the request for Eastern Punjabi Wikisource [1]. Although the situation is not totally clear, I've been following previous (2013) verification of the request for Wikiquote in Punjabi [2]. At least in Wikimedia projects, ISO 639-1 code "pa" is used for Eastern Punjabi and, in general, requests for unmarked Punjabi projects are treated as requests for Eastern Punjabi. I suppose we should send this note to the IETF Task Force for languages to have the rules synchronized (although I suppose they are synchronized anyway).
