[edit] Arguments against/반대 의견

  • none.

[edit] 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)

[edit] Localisation effort

  • Currently 74.49% of the MediaWiki messages and 11.54% of the messages used in extensions used by the Wikimedia Foundation have been localised at Betawiki. Thanks, GerardM 07:32, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Currently 74.76% of the MediaWiki messages and 36.01% of the messages used in extensions used by the Wikimedia Foundation have been localised at Betawiki. Thanks, GerardM 07:27, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Currently 72.45% of the MediaWiki messages and 33.14% of the messages of the extensions used by the Wikimedia Foundation projects 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 15:03, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
