Hi there, a newbie has started to write definition of several words on the Haitian Wikipedia. I do not want to stop him and let him continue on the Haitian Wiktionary. Can it be enbaled, pls? Thx. --Teksmeksh 00:54, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Arguments in favour

Haitian Creole is now widely spoken, it is used by about 14 million people worldwide with most of the speakers coming from Haiti, the US, The Dominican Republic, Canada, and France, it can easily be understood by various ethnic groups in the Caribbean islands who share a similar Creole , but is not Haitian Creole.In addittion various state government in the US, Canada used haitian Creole in their programs and brochures of services to reflect the growing use of this language.— The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.3.247.2 (talk) --Johannes Rohr 08:23, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Haitian Creole need Wiktionary for placing words. Bonne idée! Olaf Voljavo 17:16, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Haitian creole is an evolutive language and its foundations are yet within the constitution (Constitution 1987); such a dictionary could help to contribute to the spread of the culture of Haiti and encourage to translations; books are numerous on vocabulary and grammary methods of the haitian creole but none of them has a numeric version of these papres(internet interface).

There are many websites that are trying to build their own dictionary, a collaborative and opensource projects have demonstrated their forces and efficiency opposite to individual or commercial puproses.

this haitian dictionary could be the great interface for all kind of creole in the caribean, isles, west-indies : we could have, like in Index entry (Language Index ) a correspondance between them in a same interface.

a dictionary is a basis to bring encouragement and efficient contribution to the construction of numerical documents (looking for a definition, a term, a vocabulary, a grammary point, a linguistic one ..etc)

it has got an educational purpose for the children or other youth's who are starting computer science, it could be an open-door

many projects have a translation field, we can find the haitian creole language (such as Launchpad website, with the translations projects for ubuntu)

- The language proposal is rather long and involved. The easiest explanation is to read the Meta:Language proposal policy. You (or the newbie editor) may also consider creating an account on the Incubator and start creating Wiktionary pages with the prefix "Wn/hat." (More experienced metapedians, if I am mistaken, please correct me.) --Iamunknown 20:12, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's (almost) correct. Go to incubator:Wikt/hat and start editing. --Johannes Rohr 21:39, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

For your information, User:Masterches has started to work on the Incubator and seems motivated ; he has actually started to build a Haitian Creole dictionary on his personal website. Looks good ! le Korrigan →bla 16:20, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

i've started the building of the haitian wiktionary inside the incubator.

What does it remain to have a final decision ? How could i hope that all this work won't be lost ? Cordially, --MasterChes130.79.208.185 13:56, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
