Re: [Langcom] Chinese Wikiversity

[Steven White]

With no further comments on this within a week, I take this as LangCom 
approval, pending any comments from the community notice at Meta. If there are 
no such comments by 14:00 UTC Thursday, I will get the creation underway.

Having heard no negative comments so far, I am going to post the required 
announcement on Meta that we are proposing to approve this project.

As of now Chinese Wikiversity test meets the standard activity requirement for 
approval: at least three registered editors making at least ten edits per month 
for at least three months. In every other way this project has long been ready 
for approval. I therefore propose that the project be approved.

While I can't read/understand zh (and thus cannot say anything about the 
*quality* of the pages), I follow your argument. So at this stage, I'd 
be fine with approval.

Chinese Wikiversity is the largest test within Beta Wikiversity, with 
722 pages (as of today). While the numbers aren't directly comparable, 
that number is higher than the number of pages in each of the smallest 
seven independent Wikiversity projects. Additionally, the interface 
translation is effectively complete in both zh-hans and zh-hant.



Where there is a question here is on community activity. The truth is 
that LangCom should have approved this project around the end of 2014. 
From late 2012 through the end of 2014, this test project met the 
activity requirement just about every single month.  From then until 
late in 2017, activity was consistent, but not quite as high, with 
most months not quite seeing enough activity for approval.



Since late 2017, there has been a great deal of activity, most of 
which comes from anonymous users. Now, I understand that we normally 
don't count in "anonymous" when looking for regular activity. But 
given the magnitude of the activity, the past periods of activity, the 
fact that even without the anonymous contributions there is almost 
enough activity to allow approval—and most of all, the confounding 
factor of the Great Firewall—I'm actually inclined to consider 
approving this.



Please share your thoughts.
