Proposed approval of the Mossi Wikipedia

by Jon Harald Søby

Hello all, I would like to propose the approval of the Mossi Wikipedia (Wp/mos) [1][2]. The activity has been high and stable for several months [3], and localization is good [4] (only 17 messages missing out of the most important messages, that can be done in no time). IIRC, Amir has already been in touch with this community quite a lot, so I don't think separate verification is necessary in this case, but I'll leave that up to him (and the rest of you, if anyone has objections).

Georgian Wikisource

by Amir E. Aharoni

Hi! Can we perhaps approve Georgian Wikisource already? :) It has LOTS of pages in the Multilingual Wikisource, and recently, they were recategorized. https://meta.toolforge.org/catanalysis/?title=Georgian&cat=1&wiki=sourceswi… I can't think of a reason to keep it there. -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com ‪“We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T.

Shan Wikinews

by Sotiale Wiki

Hi. There is a request for approval for a new Wikinews project and it meets the general criteria. Due to the nature of Wikinews, it is worrisome that a small number of editors continue to edit, but this is just my opinion. I'm curious what other colleagues think. Because Wikinews is as special as Wikisource, I think everyone may have different opinions. * https://meta.toolforge.org/catanalysis/index.php?cat=0&title=Wn/shn&wiki=in… Sotiale <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> 바이러스가 없습니다.www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>

Fwd: A problem of Sylheti Wikipedia and possible soultions

---------- Forwarded message --------- Von: Ami Keu <amitumi1234amitumi1234(a)gmail.com> Date: Mi., 14. Juni 2023 um 23:21 Uhr Subject: Fwd: A problem of Sylheti Wikipedia and possible soultions To: <langcom-owner(a)lists.wikimedia.org> ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Ami Keu <amitumi1234amitumi1234(a)gmail.com> Date: Wed, 14 June, 2023 at 10:05 PM Subject: A problem of Sylheti Wikipedia and possible soultions To: jhsoby(a)wikimedia.no <jhsoby(a)wikimedia.no> Hi Jon, I don't know if this is the correct email to write this. Thank you for initiating approval for Sylheti Wikipedia https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/langcom@lists.wikimedia.org/thr… I would like to point out one thing. Langcom should be aware that Sylheti wikipedia uses sylheti nagri script. And not many sylheti people can actually read or write this script. Most sylheti uses Bengali alphabet to write sylheti (also see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Sylhetis#Sylheti_nagri_script ) I can see there is a discussion about this on sylheti wikipedia: https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wp/syl/ꠝꠥꠟ_ꠚꠣꠔꠣ#আমার_সামান্য_এক_প… where a sylheti pointed out that there is an organization did a survey and found out only 12-25 thousands people can actually write or read this script. There are c. 10.3 millions sylheti, which means sylheti wikipedia will be un-accessible for vast majority of sylheti. There is also pointed out that possible solutions would be lang converter like some wiki has. I would request langcom to create or ask developer to create a lang converter for sylheti wikipedia. Mapping already exists, see https://github.com/mayeenulislam/nagri-bangla Thank you.

Proposed approval of the Igala Wikipedia

by Jon Harald Søby

Hi all, I would like to propose the approval of the Igala Wikipedia (Wp/igl) [1]. The activity has been high and stable since they properly got started back in January [2], and the localization of the most used messages is almost complete (only a few messages remaining) [3]. We will need verification since this is the first Wikimedia project in this language.

Request for comments on approval of Rakhine(or Arakanese) Wikipedia

by Sotiale Wiki

Dear Language committee members, Hi all. *First of all, I wish you a Happy New Year.*Yes, and.. you probably know why I'm sending you emails. It's always like that. I would like to ask for comments on the approval of *Wp/rki*. It has been active since October 2022, and it has been 6 months that 3 or more editors have been active[1]. There are about *2464 *pages including templates. Most important core messages have already been translated(98.41%)[2]. The request has already been submitted[3]. Because the official name of a language is different from the one used by the community, I have asked the community about this and am waiting for a response. I would like to ask for your opinion on the approval of this, thank you for your consideration.
