Re Tok Pisin Wikipedia and Wiktionary   Good evening  A little over a month ago I started work on reactivating the Tok Pisin Wikipedia and Wiktionary  As a result a call has gone out to the members of the WikiProject Melanesia group for a startup group to get together to oversee the TPI reactivation project  If you have an interest in joining and participating in this group as I think you very well might have would you mind going to the main page of WikipediaWikiProject Melanesia and sign on as another one of the participants in the WikiProject   I think you might be interested in the fact that one of the proposals mine for the TPI Wikipedia is that the Wiki be bilingual that is with a close English translation provided for each of the Tok Pisin articles and viceversa   Ive also suggested that the TPI Wiktionary be bilingual ie providing a page for an English equivalent of a Tok Pisin word and again viceversa  Ive tested the bilingual concept in the TPI Wikipedia at Papua Niugini and a subpage with a test translation at Papua NiuginiEnglish  I also tested the concept in the TPI Wiktionary for the TP word wanbel which has a link to the English translation to agree  Theres a table in the def for wanbel that has translations of the term in several other languages  Ive put links in two of the translations German and French which link directly to the page in those languages where the equivalent of wanbel is given   I think youll agree that the close translation concept makes the Wikis exceptionally useful as learning documents for both native and nonnative speakers of Tok Pisin  Bilinguality gives both sides an opportunity to write about Melanesian and related subjects and gives both sides an excellent opportunity to learn Tok Pisin and English by having Rosetta stones as translation guides  If you then go to WikipediaWikiProject MelanesiaTok Pisin youll find the purpose of the reactivation of the TPI Wikis given on  that subpage  The subpage has been created for general discussions about Tok Pisin and the reactivation projects  Ive created two additional subpages under the Tok Pisin subpage one for discussions about the TPI Wikipedia and another for discussions about the TPI Wiktionary  Im hopeful that together we can form a group of interested authorseditorstech specialist that will make the TPI Wikipedia and Wiktionary two very useful regional Internet references ie that the primary focus of the Wikis will be PNG and the surrounding regions Oceania and the Pacific Rim countries  I believe the TPI Wikipedia should be encyclopedic but focus closely on the flora fauna people and institutions of Melanesia Oceania and the Pacific Rim rather than the world in general as is being done in all the other international Wikipedias  Well rather longwinded of me but thats how I am  So anyway I do hope that youl join our TPI reactivation group  But if not I hope that given your interest in Melanesia that you will at least sign up as a participant in the WikiProject Melanesia group  Thanksvery best regards   Ken
