Can you explain your vote after you have created your account on cs.wiki in June 2008 [1] having experience neither with wikisource nor with Albanian projects? Thanks, -jkb- (cs.source) 17:32, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Arguments against

• A very low number of pages on oldwikisource: one author, and 7 works. John Vandenberg 11:14, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Why the rush? the test-project has just started and it is growing as we speak --Cradel 19:11, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

If it grows, I will support. John Vandenberg 01:12, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

So will I. Growing stoped on july. Texts: oldwikisource:Category:Albanian. -Aleator (talk) 13:30, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

There has been some more growth which is good to see. oldwikisource:Wikisource:Languages says there are now 67 Albanian language pages. On another Wikisource project proposal I think I suggested 100 distinct works as a threshold for launching a new subdomain. w:Albanian literature appears to be a good list of works that should be included.
