Hallo! I am going through https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Open_requests_for_new_languages , project by project, letter by letter, up to ten requests per email, one email per day.
I am now working on Wikipedia, and today I'm handling the letter Y. There is nothing in the letter Z, so this is the last email for Wikipedia! \o/ But OK, there will be a few more for some follow-up ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I took the liberty to speedily delete those: * https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Yilan_Creole - practically no content in the request. * https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Yurok - created by a banned user, and there was very little discussion and very little content in the Incubator. == Yaeyama == Request: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Yaeyama Code: rys My take: Waiting. The language is small, but living, and at least some of the articles in the current Incubator were contributed by someone who appears to actually know it. I pinged them and invited them to continue. But I'd love to see more activity or expert advice from someone who knows the minor languages of Japan before marking it as eligible. == Yonaguni == Request: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Yonaguni Code: yoi My take: Waiting. Some content in the Incubator appears to be legit. But the language has under 1000 speakers, and some of the contributors to the Incubator are banned users or people who don't even claim to know the language. So, as with Yaeyama, I'd feel more comfortable with expert advice. == Yoron == Request: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Yoron Code: yox My take: Delete the request and the Incubator content if there is no reply at https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Jsph457 from the user who created it. -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com “We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T.
