[edit] Arguments in favour
- Good idea. In wikisource, yes, there aren only 3 pages, but in the new basque wikisource there are going more.--Bengoa (My user talk) 18:25, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
- I think Basque (Euskara) can easy handle this. You could compare Basque with Limburgish. Basque might have got half a million speakers less, it's more a writing language than Limburgish is. The Limburgish Wikisource (Wikibrónne/Wikibrön) goes like a train. --OosWesThoesBes 18:36, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
- Lots of Basque clasic writers texts are now of public domain. It is very important to have a proper wiki site to keep, maintain and share all this cultural heritage, which is more important than most people think.--Janfri 07:40, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
- Localization in Betawiki is now of 100% for most used messages. Uploaded some old basque texts and a localization with own eu.wikisource subdomain would make this project more visibel. -Theklan 23:04, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Arguments against
- It looks like there is no interest at all for this proposal. No reasons for wanting this project and/or links have been provided by the user making the proposal. Siebrand 11:25, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- I also think there is no interest. At oldwikisource there are just 3 texts since months (years?) ago. More texts of this extraordinary language should be uploaded first there, please. I want more euskera free texts! -Aleator (talk) 21:20, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
- You have to find more people willing to help. (Red4tribe)
- The collection of texts on oldwikisource is too small. John Vandenberg 11:20, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Other discussion
- Currently the localisation effort is at 79.86% 21.69% at Betawiki. Thanks, GerardM 07:12, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
- Currently the localisation effort is at 75.01% 17.55% at Betawiki as a consequence the start of a wikisource is further away then last time I looked... Thanks, GerardM 08:23, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
