There are about half a million speakers of Plautdietsch living in different countries across the globe -- and there is no Plautdietsch Wikipedia out there yet... Being the founder and editor of the single and international magazine Plautdietsch FRIND, the proposer (Wikipeeta) would like to gather a few more interested Plautdietsch people to edit this planned Plautdietsch Wikipedia project.

[edit] Arguments in favour

  1. The Pennsylvania German (Amish) Wikipedia language edition is already flourishing with 1492 articles. Therefore I believe that Plautdietsch (Mennonite) Wikipedia has the potential to achieve similar results if they were given the same opportunity to have their own Wikipedia language edition. --Jose77 03:19, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
  2. Es ist ein aktiv Project mit viele Seite. Deutschlehrer 14:02, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
  3. In view of the Wikipedias in Dutch Low Saxon and in Plattdüütsch of Germany, a Plautdietsch Wikipedia would help to complete the possibility of expression in all forms of Low German on Wikipedia. Ni'jluuseger 17:47, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Arguments against

  • none.

[edit] General discussion

Jo, oba woone Schriewwies ooda Orthographie solle wi bruke? Kaun een Mensch schrift "etj" un een aundra schrift daut selwjet Wuat uk aus "ekj?" Ooda es et bäta soone Froage too vejäte, un lote de Oabeit aunfange?

Yes, but which writing-system or orthography should we use? Can one person write "etj" and another write the same word as "ekj?" Or is it better to forget such questions, and let the work begin?

Et es beta eefach auntefange ;-) Du vesteist et uk, egal auf et "ekj" ooda "etj" es, ooda nijch? Vestone es aulet, waut nedechj es. --::Slomox:: >< 17:16, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

  • Currently 53.43% of the most used MediaWiki messages have been localised. Localisation of these messages is a requirement before your request is finally assessed. This is the recent localisation activity for your language. Thanks, GerardM 12:38, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
