General discussion

• General Comment - I would like to note that Korean Wikiversity was one of the original "demo" Wikiversities that was demonstrated for the original proposal. Unfortunately, it was put on en.wikibooks and subsequently deleted during a non-english content cleanup campaign. See this link for more details. If/when this is put up, I could suggest undelete some of that content, but it really wasn't more than a few pages. Still, the fact that it was even started at all more than two years ago (first edit was 20 August 2004) speaks volumes over the potential this could have. I hope the Korean speakers eventually get together enough to get this proposal accepted. --Roberth 18:07, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

• FYI Localisation is a precondition to final approval. Given that only 70.62% of the MediaWiki messages have been localised at this time, it falls short from what is expected of second projects for a language. Expected is localisation for all MediaWiki messages and all the extensions used in the WMF. GerardM 12:38, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
• please make this language wikiversity fastly.--Betalph 02:10, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
