Hello, I'm new to this list so apologies if I am not allowed to comment here, etc. I appreciate that at least this is moving forward and I would like to thank MF-W for her willingness to take those requests up to discussion. I'd also like to thank the whole LangCom for their work which I've

Hola, WRT a global ban, as suggested by Maor X, that was already attempted (not on my PC, cannot link sorry). However it didn't succeed, partly because it may have been poorly argumented and it was started by person who was seen as too involved with him IMHO. On the other hand Marrovi clogged

I do not think the project meets the criteria for closing, but I think that the vast majority of the bot articles are unworthy and that the LangCom should suggest that you will not consider that kind of one line bot created articles as “content” in the future. This kind of *articlecountitis* is

Dear LangCom: Pursuant the closing projects proposal and considering the request to close xalwiki made in bad faith and disruptive, I went ahead and closed < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_Kalmyk_Wikipedia> as rejected. As per policy, a LangCom member

Re: [Langcom] deleted wiki -> deleted Wikidata sitelinks?

2018-02-09 Thread MarcoAurelio
Sounds sensible to me. If the wiki do not exist anymore, there is no point in keeping links to nonexistent projects. But how would you remove them? Doing so by hand would be tedious. Maintenance script or bot would be better. Regards, M. El El vie, 9 feb 2018 a las 15:52, Amir E. Aharoni <

Re: [Langcom] Proposal to close Malagasy Wikibooks

2018-03-22 Thread MarcoAurelio
Hello, Actually the policy allows closing projects "which don't have content or existing content is insignificant" (type one). In this case, mgwikibooks falls under that clause totally in my opinion: - only one editor has been somewhat active there for 10 years and has not really objected to the

Issue is that we're serving a project for just 15 pages. I'd argue that is, indeed, absence of content since the wiki creation. Combined with no users interested in the project, etc., the best we can do, IMHO, is to lock the project and return it back to Incubator. Respectfully submitted, MA.
