I agree that it is debatable whether some of the marginal wikipedias have much value, although in the case of Scots it is perhaps because it is generally quite understandable to most English speakers that makes the Scots Wikipedia seem less useful than say Welsh or Irish Wikipedias. <http://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scots_leid> However, I do think that Wikimedia UK ought to offer support and encouragement to other language wikis with UK connections if needed. The following is a list of other language Wikipedias that could be considered to come under the purview of Wikimedia UK: Simple English <http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Simple_English_Wikipedia> 73,631 articles Welsh <http://cy.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cymraeg> 33,944 articles Irish <http://ga.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaeilge> 13,294 articles Scottish Gaelic <http://gd.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%A0idhlig> 8,459 articles Scots <http://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scots_leid> 7,153 articles Manx <http://gv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaelg> 3,900 articles Norman (including Guernésiais, Jèrriais and Sercquiais) <http://nrm.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normaund> 3,473 articles Anglo-Saxon <http://ang.wikipedia.org/wiki/Englisc_spr%C7%A3c> 2,720 articles Cornish <http://kw.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernewek> 2,188 articles Andrew [[User:BabelStone]] _______________________________________________ Wikimedia UK mailing list [email protected] http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org
