replies: text: :This is unacceptable. This Wikipedia is reserved for the Chamorro language, the native language of Guam and Saipan. Under no condition should it redirect to anything having to do with Switzerland.
The problem is, here a lot of pages and lemmas (and vandalism) are written in german or swiss german and they have always to be deleted... --194.9.121.83 09:27, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

message: and there is in my opinion no difference between www.company.ch
and ch.wikipedia.org.
In both cases I see the characters "ch" and it remembers me 
to Switzerland.
So I think "ch" should be reserved for pages written in the
typical "Swiss" languages.

replies: text: No. The language codes used for the several Wikimedia projects are ISO-639-2 standard and "ch" is the code for Chamorro. So everything goes right. --Thogo 14:45, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

shouldn't ch.wikipedia.org be china wikipedia. ch is china's internet code!?
replies: text: Because Wikipedia have language editions, not country editons. The letter code is refering to the ISO 639-1 code for languages and the ISO language code ch stands for Chamorro. There isn't a Canadian Wikipedia either (ca.wikipedia is in Catalan), and se.wikipedia is not the Swedish Wikipedia (it is in Northern Sami). --Jorunn 23:12, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi! I do not want to discuss if it is optimal that wikipedia is using an ISO-standard that does not use ch.wikipedia.org for a swiss edition. 
!But: As long as the mainpage of ch.wikipedia.org only has that few content, there is enough space to add the disclaimer from below on this discussion page to the article. That would spare many people many minutes: people who are looking for a swiss edition, people who add to ch.wikipedia.org swiss articles whom the not intuitive structure hinders effectivly the wikipedia-principles to work ('make it easy for everyone to add knowledge'); and of course it would save so much minutes for the admins and editors (and some whiners) that complain about 'vandalism' on ch.wikipedie.org: Just think, so many less wrongly added articles, just because there are two lines of info on the main page that this is not the swiss edition of wikipedia, but they better need to look at the links ...!
If there are no plausible objections against, I will add tomorrow some lines on the main-page of ch.wikipedia.org. As said, as long as there is nearly no content on that page, I cannot see a reason why not sparing many people much time.

replies: text: I have moved the German language notification to the Main Page.  There is zero need for an English language notice directed at Swiss German speakers; if users don't understand enough German to understand "this is not German Wikipedia" then they almost certainly don't speak enough German to be looking for German Wikipedia. That said, I don't suppose there is any chance of moving this wiki to cha, just to avoid this pointless maintenance task? - BanyanTree 08:27, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: :Hi!  You should add "This is not the Swiss Wikipedia", as it is more likely that people coming here looking for the "Chamoru Wikipedia" will understand English but not German. Thus they would very likely soon remove the German text, as they couldn't even possible know what it means. ForJosie 06:17, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: ::Hello, We certainly don't have a problem of too many Chamoru speakers, so I'm willing to take the risk.  if it turns out to be an issue, I can always figure out how to say "This is not German Wikipedia" in Chamorro and add it, which is a better choice than English. - BanyanTree 06:59, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Hola Gadao01, existen dos maneras de hacerse:
#Una desde la propia wiki, para ello hay que editar páginas en el espacio de nombres de MediaWiki. Esto está reservado a los administradores.
#Desde Betawiki. Para ello se ha de actuar como traductor en esa otra wiki. Esto está reservado para los que estén dados de alta como traductores allí.

text: En otras palabras, o te conviertes en una de esas dos cosas o te pones en contacto con alguno para que introduzca los cambios que se le vayan indicando.

text: De las dos posibilidades es preferible la segunda, traduciendo la interfaz en esa otra wiki, porque se aplicará la traducción en todas las wikis en chamorro y no solo aquí (W:ch:).

text: Yo ya he actuado como traductor en Betawiki, por lo que estoy algo familiarizado con su funcionamiento, si quieres podría intentar ayudarte.

message: Hallo, my name is Anastasiya Lvova, I'm "duty" in Connectivity project. The essence of the "Connectivity" project is to study and enhance the coherence of Wikipedia, or, in other words, to improve hypertext navigation between articles. The project deals with deadends, isolated articles, non-categorized articles, transitivity of the category tree, etc.
We want to work with your language version, but we need configured MediaWiki:Disambiguationspage for it (with direct links to template namespace pages, for example, :ru:MediaWiki:Disambiguationspage/:de:MediaWiki:Disambiguationspage/:fr:MediaWiki:Disambiguationspage). Is it possible to set it up for our usage?
