Notification about proposed approval of Talysh Wikipedia

Hi. The language committee intends to approve Requests for new languages/Wikipedia Talysh. If you have any objections to that based on the language proposal policy, please tell us here on this page in the next 7 days. Meanwhile, the community is asked to check (and if necessary, complete) the wiki settings as indicated on the request page. Thank you. --Sotiale (talk) 12:24, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

@Patriot Kor: Hi. You are encouraged to review the logo and wiki settings on the request page above with your community members. Since this setting takes time to change once set, it is recommended that you check it right now. --Sotiale (talk) 12:26, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi dear @Sotiale. First of all, I would like to thank you and the Azerbaijani government, which has never spared its support in language. I do not have any objections. The carriers of our language use the Latin alphabet entirely. There must be some changes. They are as follows:

• In the original, the spelling of the language should be "Tolıš".
• There are two abbreviated versions: The first version is used as "tlš" and the second version is used as "tol". Both versions are accepted versions. (Only in our language. It's not an international standard.)
• Furthermore, I would like to bring to your attention that "WIKIPEDIA" should be written as "VİKİPEDİÁ" in the logo.
• Similarly, "The Free Encyclopedia" should be written as "Ozoda Ensiklopediá".

I would be glad if you could help with these important issues. Patriot Kor (talk) 13:35, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi, Patriot Kor. Thanks for the reply. You can directly edit the above page. And the logo should also be modified by your community, would you like to find a contributor who can modify the svg? --Sotiale (talk) 14:21, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi, @Sotiale. Can you suggest a contributor who can modify the SVG according to the standards? Thanks in advance. Patriot Kor (talk) 07:09, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

There are no users that immediately come to mind. Ask the users who contributed to the creation of the svg file. --Sotiale (talk) 03:00, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

@Patriot Kor: Jon Harald Søby modified commons:File:Wikipedia-logo-v2-tly.svg and tlywiki is now live. Congratulation! --Sotiale (talk) 13:40, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

Request for Activation of Occitan Wikisource

Dear language Committee members,

The Occitan Wikisource has being aproved since the 9th of February 2008. The project does not have its own domain, so I request that the Occitan version of Wikisource be an independent site. A large number of documents are to be uploaded, notably from databases such as Gallica, CIRDOC, the Archives of the Crown of Aragon and other. Please take this request into consideration.

King regards, Lhanars (talk)

Checked [1], it's inactive for one year plus 4 months, are there any ideas on re-start contributing? --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 00:38, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

The request for approval of Wolaytta Wikipedia Wp/wal

I would like to request the approval of the Wolaytta Wikipedia.

Current test project at Incubator and Main Page

Continuing effort to translate the MediaWiki interface into the Wolaitta language

Special request: Wolaytta Wikipedia is now in good shape in the Incubator. Bringing it into the subdomain (wal.wikipedia.org) will encourage the wider community to participate actively. More users will take it seriously. It will add the morale of the voluntary editors to participate in other projects of this language. Kehaa (talk) 13:37, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

I appreciate your effort. However, for approval, I would like to advise that a minimum number of editors are needed for the sustainability of the community. May I ask you to make such an effort? Thanks. --Sotiale (talk) 13:20, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

The request for approval of Obolo Wikipedia Wp/ann

I'm requesting for the approval of Obolo Wikipedia. The translation of the most important messages is 100% complete, and the project is active, with over 360 articles. Katelem (talk) 16:38, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi, I appreciate your efforts on the project. I am well aware of the hard work you have done since 2020. However, we generally use a minimum number of editors as our general approval criteria for the sake of community sustainability. So, I hope you have 3 or so editors, including yourself, to show you a few months worth of activity on an ongoing basis. If so, I think approval will be smooth, unless there are language eligibility issues. Thanks. --Sotiale (talk) 13:23, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
