[Wikipedia-l] Request for separate English Wikipedias

Fri Apr 1 21:21:15 UTC 2005

Hello all,

I would like to request the creation of en-us-jwales: and en-us-node:
for the two separate varieties of American English known as "Jimbwian"
and "Nodelish".

Although they are very similar, there are some important differences.

Some examples:

Jimbwian: "My name is Jimbo Wales."
Nodelish: "My name is not Jimbo Wales."

Jimbwian: "I am the founder of Wikipedia."
Nodelish: "I am not the founder of Wikipedia."

Jimbwian: "I am married and have a daughter."
Nodelish: "I am a single teenager."

Unfortunately there is no 1-to-1 correspondence between Jimbwian and
Nodelish, so machine translation is impossible.

Mark
