Hi Janet,
One thing that most of us (who are generally only English speakers) don't
take into account is that a lot of the "rules" that we have on Wikipedia
are actually English Wikipedia rules. Verifiability, notability, etc
guidelines are pretty broad, but some language Wikipedias may choose to
that's a very valid point. I heard something a while ago about an
initiative between India and South Africa supported by WMF which was
collecting oral information from elders in those places in such a way that
it could be used as a verifiable source on Wikipedia on topics not readily
covered by reg

Oh, and on the other topic you raise, you're thinking of "Oral citations".
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research%3aOral_Citations
Unfortunately, it didn't end happily on English Wikipedia as it was just
too much of a cultural leap for everyone to make, which is why you don't
see them anymore.
Sorry folks, but I honestly believe this conversation is not appropriate
here.
It is pending resolution or clarification of a number of legal issues, and
should not be here.
simple as that

Oral histories are better being recorded, stored separately and then used
for citation of quotes rather than pure reference sources, I think creating
a Wikitionary Noongar language would be a better fit with en articles
covering noongar stories and inclusion of Noongar stories, names etc in

Hey all
Just as an observation regarding the possibilities and potential for an
Aboriginal Australian peoples kind project (see below):
1. the native title determination processes generate a lot of detailed
research around the manner and extend to which original Aboriginal 'societies'

Interesting that the question about whether oral history was a valid source
came up at yesterday`s Paralympics workshop in Melbourne (great day by the way
for anyone who can get to today`s session).
If someone publishes an oral history do they usually verify facts before
publishing? We thought
Pru is right in that they wouldnt verify facts as such how could verify
someones recollection, how could you decide that what a person remember
isnt what they experienced. The value of a oral history in an encyclopedic
subjects is in the emotional side of event, in being able to provide a
