Help needed to get Lithuanian Wikiversity test approved

Apologies for writing in English.

Pinging @Harolduzzz, @Vogone, and @Zygimantus because your test is set to "Wy/lt", but this request is open to the entire community:

The Lithuanian Wikiversity test project (betawikiversity:Category:LT) can use additional participants to help it get approved. While I do not speak Lithuanian, so cannot directly evaluate content, I can tell you that on the surface there seems to be enough content to get the project approved. However, projects also require continued active involvement by contributors. Until a year or two ago there was sufficient active involvement in the project, but there has not been as much lately. If you are willing to help improve and maintain the project over the coming months, please go to betawikiversity:Wikiversity:Kavinė diskusijoms and ask what you can do to help. Thank you!

Notification about 2024 Wikinews Copyright License Upgrade

Hi, this is to inform you about the recent changes to the copyright license for Wikinews and related updates.

There is a proposal on Meta regarding the update of the default license for Wikinews. The suggestion, detailed at m:Requests_for_comment/Update_standard_license_for_Wikinews by User:MGA73, proposes changing the default license to CC-BY-4.0 for all Wikinews projects. This change would standardize the license across Wikinews, unless a project actively selects a different one. This change will not affect your Wikinews project at Wikimedia Incubator, but if you plan to translate a Wikinews article from another language, it is helpful to understand their licensing.

Update on Wikinews License Changes:

• ar.wikinews chose CC-BY-SA-4.0 and changed the license in August 2024 (Phab:T372730).
• en.wikinews changed the license in December 2024 (Phab:T381421).
• de.wikinews chose CC-BY-SA-4.0. Estimated date of change is January 2025 (Phab:T381946).
• fr.wikinews chose CC-BY-SA-4.0.
• he.wikinews chose CC-BY-4.0. Changed the license in December 2024 (Phab:T381421).
• nl.wikinews chose CC-BY-4.0. Estimated date of change is December 30.
• pl.wikinews chose CC-BY-4.0. changed the license in December 2024 (Phab:T381421).
• pt.wikinews chose CC-BY-4.0. and requested a change on December 21, 2024. Estimated date of change is December 30 (Phab:T382649).
• ro.wikinews chose CC-BY-4.0. Estimated date of change is December 30.
• zh.wikinews chose CC-BY-4.0.

A little information about the licenses:

• Version 4.0 is more international, more compatible with other licenses, and easier to understand compared to version 2.5.
• It is possible to copy text licensed under CC-BY-2.5 to CC-BY-4.0, but not the other way around.
• It is possible to copy text licensed under CC-BY to CC-BY-SA, but not the other way around.
• After the upgrade, it will no longer be possible to translate articles from English Wikinews unless the articles are licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
