[Foundation-l] Tell us about your Wikipedia

Sat Aug 30 23:16:51 UTC 2008

It would be great, Samuel, if such a general pin board for all
Wikipedias would come to life. For the "Tell us" project I went to
quite a number of village pumps, but sometimes it is difficult to post
(if you don't speak the language). At Esperanto Wikipedia we now
discuss how to make our village pump / Embassy easier to find.

Someone from Simple English Wikipedia noted that it could be a
starting point for small Wikipedias, as translating from it is easier
tran translating form English Wikipedia.

At
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Ziko/Basic_Wikipedia_and_help_pages
I started to write some Wikipedia and Help pages for new and small
Wikipedias, because simply translating those from English Wikipedia
are often rather complicated and a huge amount of text. And sometimes
they are not suitable for every language edition.
