This conference may be of interest. It is the kind of venue in which one could discuss: * Wikipedia in African languages * Online African language learning...
Dear Don and All, Hello and thanks for the excellent eforum and activities! I've been following the discussions in a quiet way to date, but will hopefully...
Please stop these project and let them strat from scratch on their own feet. You can't do anything special for them. Wikipedia needs volunteers not money. ...
Hoi, Featured articles from the English Wikipedia have been translated by Iranian professional translators to Persian. This is completely in line with the...
Hi, We have no problem with you or Sabine. The problem is translation quality. I don't thinkg university professors that have never seen a wikipedia article ...
Hessam,
1) this is not the list to discuss these issues
2) as said on Angela's talk page the Board will receive an evaluation of the Allame Tabata'i...
... Can you tell us what the right list is? I was very skeptical after Hessam's first post, but his second post seems both interesting and relevant. ... One...
Hoi, This list is not the list to discuss projects that are outside of Africa. There is a need for articles in other projects than just the Persian one. With...
... It seems to me that your reaction is more driven by an irrational aversion to paid work than by rational objections to the quality of the articles. A...
A few quick thoughts with thanks to all for the points already made. The Persian Wikipedia is not a topic generally relevant for this list, but the principle...
They say we are living in an age of "Information Wars" and this has every appearance to me of being a real live "Information War!" Leaving aside the question...
Hoi, The notion of an "information war" is silly in this context. You obviously have not done your homework. The list of articles that were translated were...
In a message dated 1/20/2007 1:40:54 PM Eastern Standard Time, ... Where was it available again please? I know nothing about the .fa project, and am only now...
... The topic brought up might not be directly for this list, but it has started a very interesting discussion. And still, my question remains open: on which...
Gerard, without making any comment on the Farsi project, you reminded me of the opening chapter of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," when Arthur Dent...

So there seems to be a need for clarification since some think that we did not inform about the project, that people are not...
A complete personal attack! I'll answer this email in two days (I have Economy exam tomorrow). And also I'll post it on persian wikipedia because it's also an...
This topic is definitely worthwhile here, especially as there is a suggestion that similar kinds of projects might be generated for African languages. Please...
Hoi, The organisation that wanted to have the content created, first wanted the project done locally by people in Iran. For reasons unknown to me, this did not...
Well if contents creation for Wikipedias is a theme: let's take up that theme considering how it could be done.
Of course it depends very much about which...
Dear all, Could someone explain the recent developments at the Swahili Wikipedia? I've noticed with alarm that, since October, none of the 5 administrators...
Hoi, As far as I am aware there is no full time administrator in the pipe line. What may be in the pipe line is content creation. As part of such a project...
Hi Oliver,
I just had a look at the wikipedia: it definitely is quite a calm place. The two bots work on interwiki links and that is relevant, so potential...
Oliver, you are right about inactivity with regard to Swahili. I got involved with Global Voices Online (http://globalvoicesonline.org) and have been dealing...
Ndesanjo, Thanks for your explanation, and sorry to hear you're having a rough time. Hope you resurface well next month. Looking forward to interaction on...
Almost 6 months after we began this Afrophone Wikis list, we can learn a lot from what has happened with the Swahili Wikipedia, and the smaller African...
This is a reply by another active sysop on persian wikipedia. We will sign it and send it to Wikimedia and Hivos foundation soon. Some points need to be...
Hi Martin, all, This is a key issue and deserves a lot more attention. I'll offer some thoughts in the text below. ... <martin.benjamin@...> wrote: ... related...
Hoi, There are several issues; Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia. The consequence is that people use it to learn the basic information about what it is they are ...
... Just came across this list after getting back into the Swahili Wikipedia. I'm one of the "missing" admins on sw. (Regrettably, I've really had to focus on...
