• No, I Oppose now. Some pages are in Russian, badly wikified/categorized. Most of articles even have no interwiki-links. If it will be opened, we may really sorry about it.--U.Steele (talk) 06:45, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
  • Please note that voting does not make any difference. This page is about the "concept" of a Wikipedia in Tuvan, not about the actual content. Tuva speakers should contribute to the test wiki, and it will only be approved once the activity is high enough *and* the basic localisation is complete *and* an external neutral source has verified that the content is Tuva and not e.g. Russian. Wikification and interwiki links is something not essential, and also something that non-Tuva-speakers can help with. SPQRobin (talk) 20:40, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Approval

Tyvan Wikipedia has been approved by Langcom finally, after the content of the test project was verified by a linguist. Currently it's still "passing Board approval" for one day, but I think it's appropriate to assume the Board will not give a veto, therefore, I already present here the template with the settings which needs to be filled out; so that there is less of a rush for filling it out.

Default project timezone	Continent/City	"Continent/City", e.g. "Europe/Brussels" or "America/Mexico City" (see list of valid timezones)
Language name		Language name in your language. This will appear in the language list on Special:Preferences, in the interwiki sidebar on other wikis, ...

Thank you, --MF-W 06:42, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

Thx all. Next suggestion is only my own opinion. Later we'll add more. We have some problem with building a logo.

Can you say what the translation of "The free encyclopedia" slogan for the logo would be? --MF-W 18:45, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

"Хостуг энциклопедия" (by User:Agilight). --Kaganer (talk) 00:13, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

I think we can move forward in a day or so? (There seems to be nothing controversial about the settings, except maybe uploads). --MF-W 22:43, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Now here as bug no. 49328. --MF-W 01:33, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
