  1. No English, French or Spanish language version, translation is very difficult for most of non-Europeans contributors. --Gce (talk) 14:31, 15 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    @Gce: very disrespectful and scornful comment towards the proposer and the validity of minority languages. Let's remember what's Wikipedia's background and objective. Not everything must pass throughout the sieve of the big 5 languages and there's plenty of high quality translators from Catalan towards dozens of languages. It's just a fairly simple bio, not an engineering article full of technical words. Xavier Dengra (MESSAGES) 18:36, 15 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    Not everything must pass throughout the sieve of the big 5 languages If you want that a TOTW is widely translated yes, for me it must, because these languages can open the door towards other minority languages (English and French towards African languages, Spanish towards Guaranì and other Latin American languages).
    there's plenty of high quality translators from Catalan towards dozens of languages Noting that the problem itself is not Catalan as you are trying to say but the lack of languages present so far (only 3 and 2 of them are not widely spoken in the world), are there translators from Catalan to Egyptian Arabic, Chinese, South Azerbaijani, Cantonese, Malayalam, Swahili and so on? If yes my compliments to Catalan community.

  1. @Gce: There's already a Portuguese language version, which is accessible to non-Europeans, and if the proposal succeeds it will surely be translated into English and Spanish, so it'll be more suitable for those who might struggle with the languages available now. --Brunnaiz (talk) 15:11, 15 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    Portuguese is accessible only to a part of non-Europeans (mainly Brazilians and Angolan), but not to most of Africans and Asians; I think that there English and Spanish versions have to be present now and not if the article will be elected as TOTW. --Gce (talk) 15:22, 15 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    @Gce: I see your point regarding English, but not quite Spanish... Spanish is not spoken in Asia and Africa, except in Equatorial Guinea, the Canary Islands, the cities of Ceuta and Melilla, and roughly the Philippines and the West Sahara. I don't see how it makes a difference for those specific continents. --Brunnaiz (talk) 16:20, 15 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Mary Nzimiro, birthname Mary Nwametu Onumonu, MBE (1898–1993) was a pioneering Nigerian businesswoman, politician and women's activist. In 1948, she was appointed principal representative of the United Africa Company (UAC) for Eastern Nigeria, while maintaining textile and cosmetics retail outlets of her own in Port Harcourt, Aba and Owerri. By the early 1950s, she was among the richest individuals in West Africa, becoming a resident of the exclusive Bernard Carr Street in Port Harcourt. On the political front, she was a member of the influential National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons, becoming a member of its executive committee in 1957 and vice-president of the NCNC Estern Women's Association in 1962. During the Nigerian Civil War (1967–1970), she organized Igbo women in support of the Biafrans.

en:Léopoldville riots[edit]

(Net support = 5; Against = 0%)

The Léopoldville riots were an outbreak of civil disorder in Léopoldville (modern-day Kinshasa) in the Belgian Congo which took place in January 1959 and which were an important moment for the Congolese independence movement. The rioting occurred when members of the Alliance des Bakongo (ABAKO) political party were not allowed to assemble for a protest and colonial authorities reacted harshly. The exact death toll is not known, but at least 49 people were killed and total casualties may have been as high as 500. Following these riots, a round table conference was organized in Brussels to negotiate the terms of Congo's independence, The Congo received its independence on 30 June 1960, becoming the Republic of the Congo.

en:Camarão Indians' letters[edit]

(pt:Cartas dos índios Camarões)

(Net support = 6; Against = 0%)

Camarão Indians' letters (Portuguese: cartas dos índios Camarões), also known as Tupi letters from Camarão Indians (Portuguese: cartas tupis dos Camarões), are a series of six letters exchanged between Indigenous Potiguaras during 1645, in the first half of the 17th century, in the context of the Dutch invasions of Brazil. They are the first and only known texts written by Indigenous people in Brazil until the Independence of Brazil. The Camarão Indians' letters are also the only record of literate Indigenous people writing in Old Tupi in Colonial Brazil. Today, the correspondence is stored in the archives of the Royal Library of the Netherlands, and has been preserved there for almost 400 years.

Although the correspondence had been known since 1885 and there have been previous attempts at translation, the complete decipherment of its contents was only published for the first time in October 2022 by philologist Eduardo de Almeida Navarro, who also transcribed and commented on it.

A seventh letter was recently found in the National Archive, in the city of Rio de Janeiro.
