Request for a new language edition: Wikipedia Varello

submitted verification final decision This proposal has been rejected. This decision was taken by the language committee in accordance with the Language proposal policy based on the discussion on this page. A committee member provided the following comment: An artificial language that only you yourself know certainly does not have "a reasonable degree of recognition", which is a requirement. Sorry. --MF-W 23:54, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

• 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.
• The community needs to complete required MediaWiki interface translations in that language (about localization, translatewiki, check completion).
• The community needs to discuss and complete the settings table below:

What	Value	Example / Explanation

Proposal
Language code	vr (SIL, Ethnologue)	A valid ISO 639-1 or 639-3 language code, like "fr", "de", "nso", ...
Language name	Varellish	Language name in English
Language name	Varello	Language name in your language. This will appear in the language list on Special:Preferences, in the interwiki sidebar on other wikis, ...
Language Wikidata item		Item about the language at Wikidata. It would normally include the Wikimedia language code, name of the language, etc. Please complete at Wikidata if needed.
Community	You can optionally list your user name if you are an active contributor to the test wiki. Add "N" next to your name if you are a native speaker of this language.
Links		Links to previous requests, or references to external websites or documents.
Site URL	vr.wikipedia.org	langcode.wikiproject.org

Settings
Project name	Vikipedia	"Wikipedia" in your language
Project namespace		usually the same as the project name
Project talk namespace		"Wikipedia talk" (the discussion namespace of the project namespace)
Enable uploads	yes	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.
Optional settings
Project logo	File:...	135x135 PNG derivative from a decent SVG image (instructions)
Default project timezone	Continent/City	"Continent/City", e.g. "Europe/Brussels" or "America/Mexico City" (see list of valid timezones)
Additional namespaces		For example for a Wikisource which would need "Page", "Page talk", "Index", "Index talk"
Additional settings		Anything else that should be set
submit phabricator task (includes everything automatically, except additional namespaces/settings)

Proposal

Varellish language is constructed language made to be used on all over the world by everybody. You can't find anything about this language, because it's main own.

Lenga Varello serre neari lenga simasuzin fya able v olovera Varel por evri. Tu n'puede faind eni ebat opa lenga, qos opa serre nell'Aria ovne. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Warriot Varrelojin (talk)

Discussion

• Neither the ISO 639 code "vr" nor the ISO 639-3 code "vrl" exist. google:Varellish returns nothing. The only thing I can find for something like "Varello" is "Varallo", a comune of Italy. Please explain this proposal. πr² (t • c) 22:13, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
