Hi! How are you? I'm working on different projects in Incubator (Mirandese, Jamaican) and they haven't been created their Wikipedias but I've seen this. What do they need tat two projects to became a Wikipedia because Mirandese has the Vital articles and all the interface. --Chabi14:24, 14 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
Hello. The Mirandese project only needs a bit more activity. I will probably propose it for approval. So possibly the Mirandese Wikipedia will be created soon. But Jamaican does not yet have a proposal at Meta. Could you please move Wp/jam to "Wp/jam/Main Page" (with Main Page in Jamaican)? Greetings, SPQRobin14:57, 14 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
Hi. Chabi is right (thanks my friend). I don't understand either why Mirandese wikipedia hasn't been approved. I requested here and nobody replied. I'm not working more hard on Mirandese Wikipedia because i want it to be approved (seems that i and others have been working for nothing). There are already many contents and activity to be approved. So please approve it. (after being approved i truly believe that more people will contribute because now they don't see that their help is being taken in consideration)
I understand you, but please work on one project (for now at least). I assume this is Wikipedia, or are you working for Wiktionary as first project? SPQRobin00:33, 22 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
The first project is Wikipedia, and Mirandese Wikipedia is ready to go. In the meanwhile i'm working too in Wiktionary. (i have to say that i'm really tired of asking and waiting and don't see it approved. I think that 100 essential articles were finished one month ago or more. That was our(me and Chabi) deadline to ask for approval, but until nobody seems to care. It was only after that that i requested the Wiktionary.). Thank you -Cecílio04:14, 22 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
As I said, you should work on Wikipedia alone, not on two projects at the same time. You should work continously until the wiki is created. I will now send an e-mail to ask the opinion of other Langcom members about the Mirandese Wikipedia. We all care, but I assume not everybody has always time to check requests. SPQRobin11:28, 22 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
Ok, thank you. I will only work on Wikipedia from now on(i don't understand what is the problem in working on two projects at the same time, but it's ok). (i even have some files on my hard disk to upload to Wiktionary because sometimes i work offline; so i will be waiting for Wikipedia approval) Thank you. -Cecílio04:55, 23 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

After your question on the mailing list, I tried I bit and created a little Javascript: see User:Slomox/monobook.js. If you are on a "Wx/xxx/" subpage, it will replace all links with a prefixed link. To allow links to pages like "Main Page" you have to write the link with a leading "|" ([[|Main Page]]) to make it distinguishable to links in the subproject. The "|" escapes the link from further changes by the script (will be added by the script to all links, if you click edit on an existing page).
Yes, I know. But I mean, has been discussed about it on the Kurdish Wikipedia (ku:)? I can import those pages, but therefore I need a list of those pages on that wiki. SPQRobin17:58, 7 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

The page redirects to the test main page, so it's probably meant as a shortcut. As long as it has a prefix, why not? SPQRobin17:49, 6 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

You should keep the test active and find more contributors. The problem is that if mainly one or two users work on it (you and Chabi), and they abandon the project after it's created, we have yet another inactive wiki. So if you find more contributors and keep the test active for a few weeks, I think it will be approved. SPQRobin10:45, 7 April 2009 (UTC)Reply
More weeks? We are active since when? I bet that we have more content in our Wiki that lots of Wikis that are out of the Incubator. And we may be the two users that work more, but we aren't just two. I think that here we already met the criteria "develop an active test project". I think Mirandese Wikipedia deserves to get outof the Incubator (and you know it)... Anyway i will try to call more active users. Still i think that we deserve to get out already. Thank you for your time and patience. Don't take my words bad but i'm tired of work on Wiki and no results; even more because we already met those criteria for final approval. Sorry for my probably bad English but i was writing fast and English isn't my mother language. --Cecílio01:07, 8 April 2009 (UTC)Reply
I know that you and Chabi have worked a lot and I understand you are tired of this, but understand that we want a stable community with more than two contributors. Maybe you can find Miguelcr to help you. SPQRobin09:36, 8 April 2009 (UTC)Reply
Hi! How are you? Please, I want to know when we'll have a Wikipedia. We are working so hard and we don't see any results so we are a bit desperate. --Chabi21:58, 30 April 2009 (UTC)Reply
How much do we have to wait for having our code? I don't know what do we have to do unless expectint an answer. Could you tell me something about the process, how's going? --Chabi11:04, 31 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
I don't know. Currently there is not much activity in the language committee, so there aren't any new projects being approved. I know you are a bit desperate, but don't complain here always, I can't do anymore than I did. SPQRobin20:58, 31 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
I'm sorry. You're the only Wikipedist I know here that have contact with the Committee. We've work so hard and we've seen that Pontiaká has their own Wikipedia with less articles and the same number of active Wikipedists. --Chabi17:39, 1 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hello Robin, thanks for welcome :) BTW, could you take a look at Wp/mcq – it uses wrong prefix: code mcq is for New-Guinean Ese language but the test is written in South-American Ese Ejja language (code ese). This is a very confusing situation, so the test IMO should be moved to correct ese prefix (it's not too late yet, because there's no Wikimedia project in this language), and perhaps redirect mcq→ese should be left for some time. However, some users expressed opinion that the move is not necesssary. What do you think about it? --Filemon18:03, 14 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
The policy that ISO 639 codes need to be followed goes before the opinion of users (without a good argument). So, I'll move it to "ese". SPQRobin18:08, 14 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Help:Manual is a summary. It's not because it doesn't say it that a test wiki doesn't need to be verified. All current requests proposed to the language committee need to be verified, but currently the language committee is a bit inactive. SPQRobin11:34, 13 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
Yes I am, but I have not the required contacts to verify the test. That's more the task of other people in the language committee. I mainly inform about active test wikis. SPQRobin12:50, 13 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
Then the problem is yours, and not ours. Have you checked how many articles do Mirandese Wikipedia already have? There are:
900 articles, categories, templates, and talk pages;
72 redirects;...
900??And language committee doesn't do nothing. I'm really tired of this. No matter how hard we work the language committee doesn't do nothing. grrr --Cecílio02:30, 15 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
I did inform them (so it's not "my problem"), and it is on a small list of several active test wikis pending verification. SPQRobin12:48, 15 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
I know you're not the only administrator of the Language Comittee but you're the only one we have more confidence with so we talk to you for that reason. I've write to Berto d' Serà a message but he tell me nothing. I've put other message in the discussion page of the community but I received no response. You've told us that you've informed and there is a small list of several active test wikis pending verification. Do you mean that they approve "a group of Wikipedias at the same time" so the problem is not our Wikipedia but the others that doesn't have certain number of articles? I would take this opportunity to thank you all your efforts. A lot of thanks for your help. --Chabi07:20, 18 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
The list I mentioned, is a list of all projects that meet the requirements and that have been proposed, so they're all ready for approval; the only thing that still needs to be done is to verify the content (as I already explained..). Thanks, SPQRobin13:03, 18 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
Uff. It's very difficult. The most importante figure in the Mirandese language world is Amadeu Ferreira and is a user here (User:Amadeu) but he hasn't conected here for ages. There's a important page from Lisbon's University where Amadeu Ferreria and other experts have pages:
Among them, I've only talked to Amadeu and only a few times. I hope it helps you. I'll be without Internet this weekend but if you tell me something I'll read it in Monday's morning. --Chabi18:37, 18 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
For Amadeu Ferreira the e-mail is here: amadeujfgmail.com. I e-mail him sometimes and even spoke with him yesterday (in mirandese) by the phone. He usually is quick to reply and he also wants to see the Biquipédia out of the incubator. He is one or the most respected mirandese writer(for instance translated two books of Asterix); and also teach mirandese. --Cecílio01:45, 19 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
The emails that I gave are for what? I'm curious about that. Is there any new about Mirandese Wikipedia? --Chabi14:40, 24 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
It's to verify whether the Mirandese Wikipedia is really written in the Mirandese language. This is needed to prevent abuse that happened with past wiki creations. No, there is no news. SPQRobin14:43, 24 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

I really enjoyed the talks of Cecillio and Chabi. How well they spoke for their cause!!!! If Mr Khalid and other punjabi collegaues do not mind I would like these to be our representatives here!!!! What they wrote for Mirandese fit for us too. We are also here for a long time, have done all the required work rather more than that. And still we cant see its noramalisation in offing. I am really tired, worked continuously since Octber 2008.Now I can give full attention to tackle problem in its normalisation, in August I will have to join university. Have all those 260+ approved Wikipedia gone through the same process, we are going through ? I have just read that an expert or professor is needed to verify our work. If it was told to us very earlier we could also arrange it.
But I want to here point out that Mr Khalid is also a professor, and professor of language. He has worked in English Urdu (and perhpas German wikipedia) wikipedias. He set tough standards, and I am saying this becuase I have to go thorugh this. I will give you just two examples: On English Wikipedia a map of punjab is given and it is incorrect look at this map [[6]], there is a black boundry line right in the center of red district. It is incorrect. The same sort of mistake s there on two other places of the same map. So the map is wrong although the map is used on English Wikipedia in its at least 40 articles and how many times in other wikis God knows only. But the map is essential for Punjabi wikipedia too. Mr Khalid assigned me to make a correct map of Punjab, it was a new thing for me but afetr spending a day and with corrections I made it, look at it[[7]], in future we will make more maps but at present we are happy we have better map than English Wikipedia. Mr.Khalid has craze for maps and has made an article about a cartographer [[8]],links with the cartographer family, see the comments of his daughter in the article. And it is not the maps only, language is also his craze, look to one of his article on a famous poem of Punjabi,Wp/pnb/نارکلی دیاں شاناں, he counted the words in it,wrote the origin of all words of different languages in it like Punjabi, persian, arabic, sanskrit, english and hindi etc, he even gave the % of these words. He went to home of this most famous poet of Punjabi [[9]], made his picture for Wikipedia
and took an autograph too for Punjabi wikipedia
.
In a nutshell, Punjabi wikipedia already has an expert and professor and he will also join his college in August, but he will be available regularly and how we can abandon it, when we have given a piece of life to this wikipedia, it represents our mother tongue, rather it represent us and most of all we have done much of our work.
I expect Mr Robin, you will not mind my words if there is any you feel unpleasant, but please help us to normalise it soon. It has spent 9 months in incubator, now it should come into the actual world.--Danish4715:36, 23 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
This policy is relatively new. Most Wikipedias didn't have to be verified. Apart from that, I can't say much more than I did above about the Mirandese Wikipedia. But I'm considering to propose to drop the verification requirement in certain situations. And, as I asked above, could you please give me contacts about Punjabi, such as an expert etc? Greetings, SPQRobin17:12, 23 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
Danish you can also talk well. If we want that our Encyclopedia should be a reliable source of information we must have tough standards. We should create accurate as well as beautiful pages thats why I changed your infobox for the prettier ones. I am not crazy about maps, rather I have love affairs with maps. I also learnt from you a lot about weapons (you lerant about them probably from your lethal computer games !!!)
Thank you Mr Robin for you positive words. I think your arrival here made this incubator easy to work. I think that every new wikipedia + wikipedians should spend 6 months here, good learning place, I also learnt from here. Every new wikipedians should leanr from here template making, page making, basic HTML etc. Well, you asked for an expert for Punjabi. Here in Pakistan more than 65% population speaks Punjabi. I can arrange, if you want some particular person, it can take time. I also Punjabi well, read, write, speak, know its history, literature well and its different tones. Can I help you if you need some particular enquiry that an expert cn offer only ?? There is already a Punjabi Wikipedia but it offers articles in Gurmukhi script[[10]] and that is used in Indian Punjab, and majority of Punjab and Punjabi are in Pakistan and they dont know that script, they/we use shahmukhi/arabic script. This wikipedia is created to represent that majority speaking people living in Pakistani side and scattered throughout the world. I also hope earlier normalisation of our wikipedia.--Khalid Mahmood04:59, 24 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
The language committee needs an external contact (preferably an email address) to verify the content of the Punjabi test wiki. This is needed to prevent abuse that happened with past wiki creations. Though, I'm sure there is no abuse here with Punjabi Wikipedia, so therefore I said I may propose to drop this requirement in certain situations. SPQRobin13:36, 24 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
Mr Robin, you are really a considerate person. I have arranged for the language committee Anwar Masood [[11]], he is the most renowned living poet of Punjabi language. He is retired professor of Persian language and also writer and poet of Urdu language too. He has given picture and autograph for Punjabi wikipedia[[12]]. To know him more just write his name in google search. His e-mail address is :jawad.azfarictrdf.org.pk , (Jawad Azfar is his son). He can also be available on phone, I talked him today. Thanks.--Khalid Mahmood15:03, 25 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
I contacted him, he assured it is written in Punjabi, but it was unclear in his email whether he was referring to the translation in the email or to the actual test on Incubator. So I sent an email back to ask for confirmation, but so far he didn't answer that email. So I am waiting at the moment. Perhaps he didn't see it and I should send another one... SPQRobin13:45, 10 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
I am really surprised by these doubts. Wikipedia might have some bad experiences in the past. For our approval, I specially chose Anwar Masood the top most authority on Punjabi poetry and language as an honour. Definitely he wrote about test on Incubator. I am also a responsible person, and I cant waste my time on a fake idea. Can a fake idea face this world? I wish this wikipedia should come into real form soon, as these days I can give it full time but from August 15, when my summer vacation will end and I will have to go back to my college, I will be able to give few hours daily. We are satisfied that our wikipedia is competitive to the regional wikis. You can yourself check our recent article but not yet cmpleted on Germany[[13]] with any 10 wikis of India-Pakistan region and these wikis were started more than 4 years ago and see the difference. Mr Robin, I request your more attention in this matter. Thanks.--Khalid Mahmood15:48, 10 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
I know, and I trust you and Anwar Masood fully, but the Language Committee must be 100% sure, and not 99%. It's not for myself that asked for clarification. I hope you understand. SPQRobin18:53, 10 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
Mr Robin, today I phoned Anwar Masood and talked about your email but he told he did nt receive your email. He lives quite a distence from my home. Tomorrow I have arranged a meeting with him in his home specially for this purpose. 2. I am afraid today again your link system is not working.--Khalid Mahmood18:37, 13 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
I checked my e-mails, and saw that I did send the mail to his email address. Shall I re-send the email? About the link system: I disabled it by default, if you found it useful you can still enable it through your preferences (under Gadgets > AddPrefix). SPQRobin18:43, 13 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
The link system is useful, if you switch it on your self, the better. I chose Anwar Masood for verification, because he is the most famous Punjabi poet today and I thought it an honour for us if he gives us the certificate. I contacted him 4 days earlier, his one old relative was /is seriously sick and he was attending her thats why I am late in getting response from him. I dont know Mr Robin which city you live, if you live in some big European city, you could find a Punjabi speaking easily and verify the text of the incubator. Pakistani Punjabi can understand the script, Indian Punjabis use another/Gurmukhi script. Well it is an opinion just to tell that it is easy to find its readers, not a suggestion to do so. If you re-send the mail, it will be a good idea. But tomorrow I will do something. Thanks for for your time. Khalid Mahmood19:21, 13 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
I received an answer, so I think this will be ok (other members of the language committee have to agree). Then we can finally proceed with the Punjabi Wikipedia. SPQRobin07:56, 15 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
Dear Mr.Robin, yesterday in hot weather I specially arranged a meeting with Masood Anwar, went to his home, showed the work and even took written statement from him. Here is his written statement , here while he is writing, here he is with his wife. You can match these pictures with pictures available on net by just writing Anwar Masood in google search. I think I have provided the certificate from the most famous authority on Punjabi language. We have fulfilled the conditions more than the required measurement. Now I think it should be normalised. Thanks.--Khalid Mahmood14:35, 15 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
You didn't need to take a written statement. Anyway, everything is ok now, the Punjabi Wikipedia will be approved soon. Then the new wiki needs to be created. SPQRobin21:49, 18 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Olá,
A Wikimedia Foundation tem recebido um pedido de uma nova Wikipedia na língua Mirandesa.
Um grupo de voluntários trabalharam arduamente para fornecer conteúdo suficiente para começar.
No passado, nos confiávamos que a língua que estava escrita na Wikipedia era a que se dizia ser, mas infelizmente houve um abuso desta confiança.
Por isso peço a sua colaboração.
Fomos informados que você é capaz de dar um parecer objectivo da língua que está a ser utilizada. Gostaríamos que respondesse a duas perguntas:
* É possível confirmar que os textos são escritos em língua Mirandesa, correspondendo à definição no Ethnologue?
* Você pode dizer porque está na posição de afirmar que isto é mirandês?
Obrigado, a comissão de línguas da Fundação Wikimedia.

Hi, I am afraid I don't know how to do it (I mean to give prefixes). I shall ask some Sardinian colleague to help me, or maybe you can send me to some page where I can find some more information or a concrete example. I know quite a lot about Romance philology and I should like to help to revive this Sardinian project because I think it is very important, but I know very little about the technical aspects of editting. I don't understand why my translations of the verb essere (to be) don't link to the equivalents in Czech or other languages.--Henriku11:17, 2 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

All right, I shall look at it (I have done so for a minute) and I shall ask some native speaker of Sardinian to co-operate with me. Are there two users enough to start the project? I think there are lots of reasons to start it (almost no dictionaries of Sardinian are available, it is necessary to create a dictionary of Standard Sardinian, not of one ot its dialects).

Thank you. I shall write something in favour of the project in a few days. I see Omnipoedista who is participating in the Dalmatian Wp. project (Veglioto) is backing it in the very proposal.--Henriku16:24, 5 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

It is not perfect, and I plan to make a better one. But, if there is a specific example in which it doesn't work, please show me. Thanks, SPQRobin18:59, 3 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hi, some words of the left panel are not translated into Basque (eu). Some words are translated, but others aren't. These are the words that must be translated:
Manual =====> Eskuliburua
Sandbox =====> Proba orria
Donate ======> Dohaintza
Also when I put CURRENTMONTHNAME, the name of the month (and in the case of the days too) is in English and not in Basque. Could you please fix these things? --An13sa19:22, 10 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
Thank you. One last thing, can I use this template in the Basque wikinews incubator project? How can I put it?

Good evening, Robin. Let me ask you two questions, please:
1. We have 84 pages already (in fact 83, because only by error I have created an extra category "Limba ungherese"), 73 entries and 11 (in fact 10) other pages, but in the main page of our Wiktionary I see still number 59. What does it depend on, please?
2. I have mentioned en extra category created be error. Who has the right to delete it, please? Is it you, or may we do it ourselves?
I know we have to provide some information about the language and some arguments in favour of this Wiktionary. I have prepared some presentation and I have sent it to some (nearly) native speakers of English to correct the text. After presenting it maybe I shall ask you to see whether we have done everything we had to do from the formal point of view. I'm a specialist in Romance philology, but I know only very litte about this project and we should not like to lose this chance only because of some formal mistake. Have a nice evening, --Henriku19:49, 10 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
Thank you, Robin. As to the first point (It counts all pages in Category:Wt/sc and its subcategories. So you should add all your pages to these categories.), all the 83/84 pages I mention are in the category Wt/sc, but the number in the main page is 59.--Henriku20:30, 10 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
Good evening, Robin. I looked at the statistics of the Sardinian Wiktionary on Catanalysis. Our main page was showing 110 pages, in Catanalysis number 50 only appeared. I have created 5 new articles, now there appears number 55 in Catanalysis. Is it all right, please?
Good evening, that's right, but at this moment it shows 33 new pages this month - we have created at least 135 new pages this month, since July 2nd, I think. You can look at our main page (Pàgina printzipale) and at Category Wt/sc - most of these pages have been created by myself and completed by Marcedu and El Mexicano, some of them have been created by Marzedu. Some new templates have been created, too. I use to look at this page - the number of new articles created this month seems to be still smaller. I can't understand it, maybe there is something wrong. Good night.--Henriku20:26, 20 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
As I said above, I had contacted him already but he didn't respond. Now I resend an email, and he answered, so the confirmation is ok, and the Mirandese Wikipedia will be approved soon. After that, the wiki needs to be created. SPQRobin20:10, 20 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
So, could you give us one possible date of when the wiki could be approved...and created? As you can imagine we are anxious to see that happening. Thank you. --Cecílio21:44, 31 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
I will tell you when I know something! Please don't ask me every week or so. I can't do anything about it that the approval process is so slow. SPQRobin23:21, 7 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
Translations

Hi, I'd like to help translating this to spanish and french, for newcomers. Should I write my name in the 2nd section to be allowed to translate, or did I misunderstand and it is elsewhere. Thanks and sorry if the question is so dumb, it's just that there are no other names there...--Diotime (Doutes, aide...) 16:08, 8 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
Hello. You should request it there, but it actually doesn't matter where you place your request, because it's just that I know someone wants it. Therefore I gave you translator rights now. Btw, thanks for translating! I'm very happy someone wants to translate to Spanish because it's very difficult to find someone! Thank you, SPQRobin16:12, 8 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
Ok, I just sent the translation of your toolserver tool. I hope it came allright. If you also need some help for translating french, just tell me, I am not native but I can try my best. I am trying to help at the berber languages but lots of people there just speak arabic and french, and usually not a word of english, so I think it would be good. And also for all those potential users from the whole french-speaking sub-saharan Africa. Thank you, --Diotime (Doutes, aide...) 01:43, 9 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
Sorry, I just discovered I made a mistake. I translated [[MediaWiki:Teswiki-contribute/fr]] not realizing that you had already translated it at [[MediaWiki:Testwiki-contribute/fr]]. Was the misspelling there on purpose, so that it appears in red? Did I do wrong substituting MediaWiki:Teswiki-contribute/fr by MediaWiki:Teswiki-contribute/ar? I also found out that here the link down the message has two dots before org instead of one, but I don't know if it is on purpose... Thanks--Diotime (Doutes, aide...) 02:19, 9 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Unprefixed pages
Excuse me, please, what is wrong with "Category:Wt/sc templates (◄)" and "Category:Wt/sc templates de is coniugatziones (◄)" and what exactly should we have to do to correct it? Thank you,--Henriku19:12, 9 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
All pages, templates and categories should have "Wt/sc/", so "Category:Wt/sc templates" should be "Category:Wt/sc/Templates". Categories can't be moved, so you should recategorise them. There is already a correct category: Category:Wt/sc/Template lingua testo. Thank you, SPQRobin19:35, 9 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
I have checked the pages. They are fine. Please change the font and use Tahoma with a bit bigger size.--Khalid Mahmood 02:25, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for this big task.
Can front page be imported ? And this logo [16]Khalid Mahmood15:16, 13 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
Thanks Robin. Now I am waiting Danish's work as he is responsible for front page. One thing more the article count on front page is not correct. It is showing the figure of 2014. I think it is near to 2615.
Mr Robin, thanks for your help. There are a few problem I would like to mention: Interwiki links cannot be made, Article counter says that we are on 2016 but according our own counting we are on 2616 and Punjabi wikipdia is not on the list of wikipedias. Danish4713:46, 14 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hi,
I have a question about Turksih Wikinews :)
How can we add logo, change the name of the Wikinews: namespace to Vikihaber: ? This project is created but there is no updates in request page at meta. Thanks :) Srhat07:05, 13 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
Hi SPQRobin, we just need some help with uploading the logo, I know should upload the logo with Wiki.png name to the site but I can't upload anything because I'm not an autoconfirmed user. Could you please upload the logo for us to the site in your free time? Here is the logo link on Commons: File:Wikinews-logo-tr.png. We are going to be autoconfirmed two days later. Srhat15:23, 14 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
But the main page wasn't created...Can we edit it?
Another doubt: this bot will fix every wrong link ("../link/"), right?
Juts another doubt, for the Wiki logo, there's any source(PNG) so i could edit it more easily in Photoshop? The text should be "Biquipédia La Anciclopédia Lhibre". Thanks --Cecílio20:43, 13 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
I have changed the logo so it uses the original logo. I uploaded it to Wiki.png at mwl.wikipedia and I protected it (which is usually done). Now you should file a bug at Bugzilla to request to set Wiki.png as logo. Regards, SPQRobin11:41, 14 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

There appears to be problems linking the existing wikipedias editions to the new wikipedias. For example:

Hi.
We have a lot of articles in ckb but Special:Statistics shows only 44! We need a bot for deleting useless contents in articles ( {{Rtl}}, {{/Rtl}}, {{ckb}} and [[Kategorî:سۆرانی]] or [[category:سۆرانی]]) we dont need them anymore. Please change sitename to "ویکیپیدیا". Thanks,--ئاسۆ12:16, 14 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
There are more than 44 pages (see Special:AllPages), so Special:Statistics is outdated. It should display the correct number soon. To delete pages, request temporary adminship on m:RFP to delete them manually or ask someone else for a bot. My bot is not working currently. To change the sitename, you should file a bug at Bugzilla. SPQRobin12:25, 14 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
I think the problem of number, is not matter of outdating. It decreased! Also Search function and AJAX suggestions only search in that few articles. 217.218.40.24204:00, 19 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
