As I mentioned recently, I am going to jump to 2018 requests at this point. We still have a substantial backup to clear, but I also want the Committee to start appearing more responsive to what's currently going on. (Oliver asked recently whether he should comment/interact on-wiki, and the answer is unquestionably "Yes!" It is far better for all of you to see directly what is going on than always to depend on my commentary.)
* Wikipedia Indonesian–Arabic Script (Jawi)<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Indonesian-Arabic_Script>: No language code, and no evidence this couldn't be accomplished with a script converter. Rejecting. * Wikipedia Rejang<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Rejang> (rej): This is an Indonesian language with about 350,000 speakers. Test has 50 pages. Eligible. * Wikipedia Haryanvi<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Haryanvi> (bcg): This is an Indian language with about 8 million speakers. New test project recently started. Eligible. * Wikipedia Masai<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Masai> (mas): This is an East African language with around 1 million speakers. No test project so far. On hold. * Wikipedia Masovian<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Masovian>: Masovian is the principal dialect of Polish, so a Wikipedia in this language would effectively be another Polish Wikipedia. There is no language code. Rejecting. Steven Sent from Outlook<http://aka.ms/weboutlook>
