The problem I have is that the fa code is ambiguous and I have informed my fellow members of the language committee that as far as I am concerned the code for a new project in Farsi should be "pes". The reason for this is that fa or fas has been made a macro language, this macro language includes Dari or "prs". Now in the language committee there are some who disagree with me. I told them that I will not change projects administratively unless the codes used are unambiguous. As I am not the only member of the language committee, those members who disagree with me could have changed the status.. So the situation is: - I am in full support of a Farsi Wikinews project - There is a situation with the code used for Farsi I am interested to learn what you think of this impasse. NB Farsi is not the only language that has this problem..
