Kabyle wikipedia[edit]

Hello,

Our request to have a wikipedia in the Kabyle Berber language have been aproved by an administrator :

http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:TUF-KAT

On this page:

http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Requests_for_new_languages/Kabyle

The use/admin TUF-KAT said we need to ask a developer to do the rest, I have posted in the mailing list [1] but we did not find any developper.

i am a bit lost, what should we exactly do?Toira

Statement update[edit]

Hi Millosh, thanks for being the first to translate my statement. In return, prehaps I should fix the en-fr bilingual statement... except I can't tell if he meant it to show up that way! I modified it after your translation; please look again. (and moved the "a trustee should" commentary elsewhere...).

Regards, and good luck, -- sj | help translate |+

Help compile Objective Data about the Candidates[edit]

Posted to all candidates talk page:

To aid in the fair evaluation of all the candidates, especially those not active on EnWiki, verifiable data about the candidates is being compiled. Anyone is invited to help compile the data since it is all publicly available on-wiki.

But since the people best qualified to help are the candidates themselves, it seems reasonable to ask:

Which languages do you speak? (voter statement)
Which projects do you contribute to?
- For each, when was your first edit?
- For each, how many total edits? (exact figures not need)
Which projects are you an admin on?
Are you a bureaucrat? which projects? when?
Are you a CheckUser? Which projects? When did you start??
Are you a steward? If so when were you made one?
Have you served in a verifiable leadership role on a project? (e.g. Like EnWiki's Founder or Arbcom member)
Have you served in a verifiable leadership role on at the Chapter or Foundation level? (Trustee, etc)

Are there any objectively verifiable facts that should be included in this guide but aren't?

(Incidentally, this document won't reflect my own personal values or wikipolitical opinions. Ideally it will come to exist outside of my userspace in some neutral, visible location. -- Alecmconroy)

Stewards doing xwiki admin check[edit]

Hi Millosh. Stewards are undertaking further works on inactive admins through the wikis, and I see that you are

crat/sysop at sr.wikinews.org
crat/sysop at sh.wiktionary.org
sysop at sr.wiktionary.org
crat/sysop at sr.wikibooks.org

of those wikis you have been inactive for many years. If you do not wish to maintain those rights, then they can be resigned at m:SRP; if you do wish to maintain those rights, it would help if you could do some editing on that wiki when we get to do formal notifications to those wikis. Thanks. — billinghurst sDrewth

Help me with my dictionary project?[edit]

Hello, User:Millosh! I am currently researching a language called Sizang (ISO-693: csy) and would like to make a digital lexicon for the language. I've detailled some of my plans on my blog here. But as I have over 400 words already, I think it would like a very long time to input all of the data manually. I have a lot of lexical items in Excel format, and I wanted to know if there was a way to create a bot to mass-import those into separate Wiktionary entries. I tried importing them Excel->CSV->MySQL myself, but when I tested the DB with an array through PHP, the unicode (IPA) rendered as "???". So I figured that using a wiktionary-type platform through mediawiki would be a safer bet. This is an early sample of my data, and what I would like to do is create a page based on the English gloss, and then use the IPA in the middle there as its entry. However, I have multiple sources for a word, so I will probably end up combining Excel spreadsheets to have multiple sources for each word. So, for example, searching "Deer" may return something like this:

== English ==

Deer
== Sizangkam ==

===Noun===
==== Modern Sizang Orthography ====
*   sakhi
==== Luce ====
*   sʽă˦haŋ˨
==== Naylor ====
*  sahkī
====Example Sentences====
*  Sakhi khat an ne zo hi.

Humble Request to Hon'ble Members of Language Committee[edit]

As a Test Admin of Wp/khw Khowar Wikipedia Project I on behalf of the Khowar language communities of Pakistan, Afghanistan, India and Xinjiang(China) humbly request the all respectable members of the language comittee for early approval, creation of Khowar Wkipedia i.e. khw.wikipedia.org. The Khowar language is spoken in Pakistan, India, Afghanistan and Xingjiang(China). I have created a test page for Khowar language in incubator i.e. Wikipedia Khowar (Khowar Language Wikipedia), On behalf of the abovementioned Khowar speaking four countries for early approval and creation and normalization of Khowar Wikipedia edition. Khowar is one of spoken 14 languages in Chitral(Pakistan). It will be useful to Khowar internet users to report news from worldwide. I strongly feel it deserves its own Wikipedia. Being a test admin i have translated all most used messages into khowar. I have created test Khowar Wikipedia at Khowar Wikpedia.--Rachitrali

-== [[Requests for new languages/Wikipedia Old Russian]] ==
-Hi :) I've noticed you've been working on verifying proposals on [[Requests for new languages]] lately. Could you have a look at [[Requests for new languages/Wikipedia Old Russian]]? This was marked as eligible over a year ago by an anonymous user in [[Special:Diff/15196541]] but since historical languages are explicitly excluded by [[Language proposal policy]], it seems unlikely to me that it is actually eligible. - [[User:Nikki|Nikki]] ([[User talk:Nikki|talk]]) 15:01, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
-: On a related note, [[Requests for new languages/Wikipedia Pax̌to]] was created five years ago already saying that it was eligible, but it's asking for a romanised version of a language which already has a Wikipedia and I can't find anything where someone from LangCom has actually said it is eligible, so maybe that is also incorrect. - [[User:Nikki|Nikki]] ([[User talk:Nikki|talk]]) 16:19, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
-:: Thanks for both information! Old Russian has been fixed. I have to check what's going on with "Pax̌to". It seems to be Pashto and we already have those projects. I will check all the proposals marked as eligible after I finish with mostly trivial requests. --[[User:Millosh|Millosh]] ([[User talk:Millosh#top|talk]]) 16:56, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

I will deal with the requests for other projects after I finish with the requests for Wikipedia. --[[User:Millosh|Millosh]] ([[User talk:Millosh#top|talk]]) 16:58, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

-== Wikipedia Old Norse Rejection Reasoning ==
-I saw that you rejected the Old Norse Wikipedia, and while I respect your opinions, I think that your reasoning wasn't strong enough. You called the language a "proto-language", which is simply not true. The language has been documented and there are countless sagas written in it, as well as rune stones. The language was not in anyway reconstructed and you're probably confusing it with Proto-Norse. As for it being extinct as you mentioned, you are mostly correct. However (you probably guessed I would bring this up), Latin and Old English have their own Wikipedias. If you were to reject it with a better reason, I wouldn't be complaining. But the current reason for rejection inaccurately describes the language and should be removed or changed. --[[User:ScriptorHistoriae|ScriptorHistoriae]] ([[User talk:ScriptorHistoriae|talk]]) 20:45, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
-:[[Language proposal policy]] says: "The proposal has a sufficient number of living native speakers to form a viable community and audience (Wikisource wikis are allowed in languages with no native speakers, although these should be on a wiki for the modern form of the language if possible)." Old Norse doesn't have any native speaker and the proposal was for Wikipedia. Latin is a widely used ''living'' language, while Old English and Old Church Slavonic had been opened before the creation of the Language committee and none of them would be made eligible by LangCom. --[[User:Millosh|Millosh]] ([[User talk:Millosh#top|talk]]) 22:19, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
-::Well, per same policy, you may already have reason to reject [[Requests for new languages/Wikipedia Ancient Greek 4]], however, according to [[Talk:Language_committee/2016#Requests_for_new_languages.2FWikipedia_Ancient_Greek]], as Gts-tg said:
-{{cquote|I think that there are 2 ways #4 can be addressed. One is via providing some evidence of living speakers, something which the [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Ancient_Greek_4 proposal's request page] has attempted to do in the best way that it could. The 2nd way, is to simply see the forest for the tree, in other words that there is a strong demand, an active community, there is content, and there are tons of available material in the language for the wiki proposed, so in the event that the proposal is going to be rejected based on a strictly bureaucratic reading then maybe this could lead to a major and constant push for a policy change so that oxymorons like these are avoided. The [https://la.wikipedia.org/ Latin Wikipedia] is one successful example of a Wiki in a classical language (100+k articles). Ancient Greek is too much of an important and core language to not have its own Wikipedia. The argument that Latin Wikipedia (as well as Sanskrit and others) were created before the policy changed in 2008 and ever since no other classical languages can be created, fails to see that the demand for this language to have it's own wiki is not going to go away, no matter how many years or decades go by. Gts-tg (talk) 16:01, 2 October 2016 (UTC)}}
-So instead of speedy reject such historical/ancient/extinct languages, there should have another program to validate such usage of non-Living cases, say really, I also think the tone of this rule makes me vague. --[[User:Liuxinyu970226|Liuxinyu970226]] ([[User talk:Liuxinyu970226|talk]]) 03:57, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
-::: Yes, Ancient Greek Wikipedia should likely be rejected. However, I need some clarifications in relation to that. At the moment it's not priority, as it's not [totally] trivial and my focus is now to make eligible every valid language. --[[User:Millosh|Millosh]] ([[User talk:Millosh#top|talk]]) 15:43, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
-::: In relation to Wikipedia and classical languages, the test is relatively simple: Are you able to write encyclopedic articles about the modern concepts (train, airplane, theory of relativity, ecology, meteorology etc.) by using relevant dictionaries of that language, without ad hoc neologisms? The point is that you ''can'' do that with Latin (as it's the living language of the Roman Catholic Church; there is even a Radio in Latin in Finland), while you can't do that with, for example, Old Norse or Old Russian (or Old Church Slavonic). There are, of course, borderline cases. Classical Chinese (created before Language committee) and Ottoman Turkish, for example, belong to that category. They have been actively used up to the 20th century and it's possible to write about modern technology in those languages, although they are not, unlike Latin, used anymore. AFAIK, you can't do that with Ancient Greek, as well; but that should be checked. --[[User:Millosh|Millosh]] ([[User talk:Millosh#top|talk]]) 15:43, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
-::: Note that that was the reasoning for ''Wikipedia''. Unlike Wikipedia, Wikisource can exist. In that case, for example, interface of the [[Requests for new languages/Wikisource Ancient Greek 2|Ancient Greek Wikisource]] should be in English, as you can't translate MediaWiki interface without using ad hoc neologisms inside of a dead language; which would make that language Neo-Ancient Greek. So, Old Norse, Old Russian etc. -- if the materials can't be kept on the appropriate modern language Wikisource (Old Russian materials on Russian Wikisource, for example) and there is considerable amount of written materials (so, it makes sense to make a separate project from the Multilingual Wikisource) -- could have their own Wikisource projects with the interface in relevant contemporary language(s). --[[User:Millosh|Millosh]] ([[User talk:Millosh#top|talk]]) 15:43, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

-:: I am not knowledgeable in the properties of old Norse, but I think that any language that can demonstrated to be usable for the purposes of content creation and knowledge description, and is able to have a community to back it up, should have a Wikipedia. It really is as simple as this. With regards to ancient Greek, I believe the assumption that Latin has attributes that ancient Greek does not have, to be a false one, there is a very close parallel route between the 2 (e.g. Latin via Catholic church and use in Vatican, Greek in Orthodox church and use in Ecumenical Patriarchate, as a very basic example, as well as that both Latin and Greek have constantly been used for wordsmithing new terms either scientific or legal or medical etc). [[User:Gts-tg|Gts-tg]] ([[User talk:Gts-tg|talk]]) 02:49, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
-:: Sorry, I don't want to hijack the Norse lang issue, but I had a look again and I've read Milosh's feedback on ''interface of the [[Requests for new languages/Wikisource Ancient Greek 2|Ancient Greek Wikisource]] should be in English, as you can't translate MediaWiki interface without using ad hoc neologisms inside of a dead language; which would make that language Neo-Ancient Greek''. This really falls in with considering ancient Greek as a language that hasn't been in continuous use since antiquity, in other words the same as Latin (+ la.wikisource.org), it really is quite surprising that there is non trivial amount of people that regard that the two languages have very divergent paths. But apart from that, the interface has already been translated in ancient Greek, and in any case it would be a choice for the community to make if they would ever want to change the interface language.
