I agree with Marcos and thanks for your comment, Masssly. I actually know little or nothing about Yugur. My bad!

And “find such editors [from] the Village pump? I don't think that's what the village pump is meant for. So yes, just go ahead and start a test Wikipedia of your language in the incubator if that's what your enquiry is about, then look for people to help you develop it. Good luck -Masssly Sent from Windows Mail From: olatunde isaac Sent: Thursday, December 31, 2015 8:07 PM To: Wikipedia mailing list Marcos, what information are you talking about? Did I gave any contrary information? Based on the language proposal policy, there are basic requirement that must be met to request a new language Wikipedia and one of the requirements is that the proposal must have sufficient number of native speakers of the language to form a viable community and audience. On this note, it is important to seek for editors who are willing to help in building such community and one of the places you can find such editors is the "Village pump". Best, Olatunde Isaac.

I recommend you find native speakers and gather a group of people who will contribute to the project together.
