Ilokano Wiktionary

[edit]
submitted verification final decision
This proposal has been closed as part of a reform of the request process.
This request has not necessarily been rejected, and new requests are welcome. This decision was taken by the language committee in accordance with the Language proposal policy.

The closing committee member provided the following comment:

This discussion was created before the implementation of the Language proposal policy, and it is incompatible with the policy. Please open a new proposal in the format this page has been converted to (see the instructions). Do not copy discussion wholesale, although you are free to link to it or summarise it (feel free to copy your own comments over). —{admin} Pathoschild 03:03:20, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Proposal summary
Please read the handbook for requesters for help using this template correctly.

The Ilokano Wikipedia, after only about seven months, has now passed the +1,000 pages/articles mark (at present with over 1,500 articles). It's high time for other projects. I believe we can now afford to have an Ilokano Wiktionary. So, I hereby request for it. -- Saluyot 14:35, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
