Thanks,

I have written to Erik Anonby (the author of the most recent linguistic article on Northern Luri: "Update on Luri: How many languages?" published by the Cambridge /Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society/ in 2003) asking him whether he is sufficiently well-versed in Northern Luri to verify the content on the incubator, or if not, whether he could suggest someone else.

Hoi,
Sorry, I am fine with having a Northern Luri project. I would like it to be started in Wikidata asap and I do want an external expert, I am happy when one is suggested to us.
Thanks,
     Gerard

    Sorry, Gerard, for probably annoying you but you're fine with *what*?
    Finding an outsider? Summarising N.Luri's progress for me?

        Good luck with finding one "outsider".

        If he has been contributing to the Northern Luri Wikipedia,
        he would not be our preferred person to go to for
        verification. Verification should be done by someone not
        connected to wikipedia, i.e. an outsider who could look at
        the wiki articles through an unbiased lens.
        And anyway, before we can take the step towards
        verification, we first have to agree that Northern Luri
        Wikipedia has fulfilled all requirements prior to the step
        of verification. I would hope that one of the LangCom
        members could summarise Northern Luri's progress again for
        computationally challenged folks like me.

        it seems they have been trying to contact you guys for the
        verification.

        After I researched, I found a lot of articles around the
        Internet only written in Persian by a person named
        Gholamreza Mehramooz (Persian: غلامرضا مهرآموز,
        pronounced: [ɣolɒːmɾezɒː mehɾɒːmuːz
        <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_Persian>)
        about Luri languages. After I contacted Mohammad Mogoei
        (User:Mogoeilor), it seems like Mr. Mehramooz actually is
        a university professor and he has PhD, and he has been
        contributing to Northern Luri Wikipedia under user name
        User:‏Mehramooz, please contact him for the verification.

        If yes, is the aforementioned Erik Anonby an acceptable
        reference? I've actually met him several years ago at a
        linguistics conference, so if we all agree that we've
        concluded step #1, I'd be happy to contact him to see
        whether he himself could verify Northern Luri or whether
        he could recommend someone else to do so for us.

        Fwiw,
        Oliver
