Hello,
I'm wondering where I can find how to fix the sort order in Thai Wikipedia.
The problem is that, in Thai language, words starting with a vowel alphabet
need to use the second alphabet (consonant alphabet) as the sort key but the
Mediawiki always use the first alphabets sorting by its unicode.
I searched some and found out that someone already asked this question in
bugzilla.wikimedia.org (http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164)
(#32, Oct 05). And also the related one is already mentioned in unicode
collation algorithm for Thai/Lao (
http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr10/ in #3.1.3 Rearrangement). And
also I found someone talking about LC_COLLATE in English WP for sorting
specific alphabet order (but I really don't know about this).
Thank you for any answer.
Regards,
Manop

Dear All, Dear Mark,
Belarusian Classical Grammar (sometimes called Tarashkievitsa)is used by
Belarusian Language Society
[http://www.tbm-language.com/eng/about.html], by Belarusian PEN Centere
[http://www.pen-centre.com/eng/pen_about.html], by most important
belarusian writers and free media (newspapers, magazines, radio) to name
just some: Nasa Niva Newspaper [http://arche.home.by/], ARCHE Magazine
[http://arche.home.by], Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty
[http://www.svaboda.org], by main belarusian political parties and Non
Government Organisations: Party of Belarusian Popular Front
[http://www.pbnf.org], United Civil Party [http://www.ucpb.org],
Viasna'96 [http://www.spring96.org], by Civil Society Center
[http://www.cacedu.unibel.by/cscsc/], by belarusian Dictionary Project
[http://slounik.org], by Litara.net Webzine [http://www.litara.net], by
Belarusian Legal Portal [http://www.praunik.org], by Belarusian Students
Portal [http://studenty.by] by many belarusian bloggers from LiveJournal
Community and in particulary by Rydel's blog [http://www.br23.net/] wich
won this year the 4th National Belarusian Web Content Contest, organized
by prominent belarusian portal TUT.BY [http://www.tut.by].
All of above mentioned organisations and individuals use CLASSICAL grammar.
Most localisation and internationalisation job of free and open source
software (GNU/Linux)in belarusian is done according to classical grammar.
As you see, it's not just "some of belarusian nationalists" which want
to return to older belarusian, but intellectuals, writers, journalist,
students, politicals, translators and policymakers who use it.
It is not true, that "By sheer chance, the proponents of the
alternative style were the first to arrive at be.wikipedia[...]" this is
because major part of BYnet (belarusian part of the web) uses classical
grammar.
In such situation I belive it is inappropriate to create an alternative
wikipedia for authors who want to write in official, imposed by soviet
regime grammar rules (which are still obligatory).
If someone want create article in "Narkamauka", should be allowed to do
so in the belarusian wikipedia.
PS Sorry for my English.

It has been obvious to me for a long time that this sort of thing is quite prevalent. On the one hand it sort of makes a mockery of the open and free principles espoused by wikipedia. But then again, it seem an inevitable development, afterall, we all know it can't be an out and out free for all.
So I accept that there is a place for it, but occasionally I get the feeling there is a cosy little club operating, to which not even 20,000 edits will open a door.
Furthermore, those born prior to 1976 need not apply - open and free indeed!

Really, a point of order - there was never any "secret" list, it was not
created in secret, it was not meant to be a secret. As already stated
by Tomasz earlier in the thread it was created as a "restricted-access"
list but not a secret one. If you wish to discuss merits or drawbacks
of such a list please do so but do not use loaded and inflammatory
language by making it into something it was never intended to be.

Hello all,
Recently it turned out on the Polish Wikipedia that somebody created
a secret mailing list for Polish Wikipedia administrators. Why I say
the list was secret?
* the information on it was not presented anywhere on the usual
public Wikipedia fora,
* the information on the fact that this list is planned has
not been announced anywhere,
* the list was private (only admins could read it and
had access to its archives),
* the information about the list leaked on some of the Wikipedia
talk pages.
There was a hot dispute concerning the problem on the official
Polish Wikipedia mailing list. However, there was no clear result.
A concrete proposal to discuss the issue in a narrow circle and achieve
a compromise of some kind made by [[:pl:User:Ency]] was more or less
ignored by the creators and supporters of the list.
My concern with regard to the issue is that this kind of initiative
spoils to high extent the open character of the Wikipedia community and
therefore the mailing list should be closed or the admins should be
obliged to sign off from the list. Another possibility is to just make
the list open for the whole community in some way. However, the
effective result of the discussion on the Polish Wikipedia mailing list
(that means that the list still exists) stays in contradiction with my
understanding of the openness of the Wikipedia projects. That's why I
raise this issue here in hope that I'll hear something that will allow
me to better understand the situation and act appropriately.
Bests,
Alx-pl

Sorry, but you didn't correct. Claims about changing spelling was from
one user, and was about categories, not about articles.
With best regards,

One of two longest-serving arbiters was born in 1959 and the other is
of a comparable age, so I can say for certain that you're ....
Oh, wait a minute. It's secret. Never mind -- I can't say anything.

Hi Berto,
my point is: Don't split Belarusian Wikipedia.
We need one Belarusian grammar and we will reach it in effect. Time will
juge which one is better or worse. But splitting wikipedia is not good.
Belarusian Wikipedia does not favor classic spelling over official. It
contains articles on both spellings. There were some edit wars based on
spelling at beginning of 2005, but since that time both spellings
coexists peacefully without major problems. Belarusian speaking Internet
community is not so big, so further spelling dividing will do more harm
then good.
Regards,
Kiryl
