[edit] Arguments against

[edit] General discussion

• Guys, you have conditional approval. So get to work on Incubator and show that you are worth it. GerardM 07:34, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Localisation update

• Currently 45.49% of the MediaWiki messages and 2.92% of the messages used by the extensions used by the WMF have been localised. Both need to be 100% before final approval can be given. Thanks, GerardM 20:32, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

• Currently 96.38% of the MediaWiki messages and 42.12% of the messages of the extensions used by the Wikimedia Foundation projects have been localised. Please help us help your language by localising at Betawiki. This is the recent localisation activity for your language. Thanks, GerardM 07:04, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
