Discuss the creation of this language project on this page. Votes will be ignored when judging the proposal. Please provide arguments or reasons and be prepared to defend them (see the Language proposal policy).
The language committee needs to verify the language is eligible to be approved.
Check that the project does not already exist (see list).
Ensure the requested language is sufficiently unique that it could not exist on a more general wiki.
Ensure that there are a sufficient number of native editors of that language to merit an edition in that language.
The community needs to develop an active test project; it must remain active until approval (automated statistics, recent changes). It is generally considered active if the analysis lists at least three active, not-grayed-out editors listed in the sections for the previous few months.

Enable uploads
no
Default is "no". Preferably, files should be uploaded to Commons.
If you want, you can enable local file uploading, either by any user ("yes") or by administrators only ("admin"). Notes: (1) This setting can be changed afterwards. The setting can only be "yes" or "admin" at approval if the test creates an Exemption Doctrine Policy (EDP) first. (2) Files on Commons can be used on all Wikis. (3) Uploading fair-use images is not allowed on Commons (more info). (4) Localisation to your language may be insufficient on Commons.
The romani language (ISO rom) is a macro language in which Carpathian Romani (ISO rmc) is a part. This is proposition of a Carpathian Romani or central northern romani wikipedia using the standardized language and orthography in Czech and Slovak republic. The Carpathian Romani is also written in international romani orthography but in practice, it is unused. Spoken by at least 150000 as first language, the Carpathian Romani speakers are often socially disadvantaged and with no education in they own language. A wikipedia in this language would give the opportunity for native speakers to read and inform them self if the language they use at home and in they marginalized community. As the education level slowly but surely increasing, the number potential contributors should be raising over the time. --Adehertogh (talk) 20:40, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
