Talk:Catalan Wikipedia

message: It's an interesting fact that the Catalan Wikipedia was the second to be created. Why was this? Was there some enthusiastic Catalan user involved in the early days of the English Wikipedia who put forward the idea? Everything from the early days seems to suggest that Wikipedia was never really conceived as a multilingual, international project (e.g., use of the US flag as the original logo, locating the English Wikipedia at www.wikipedia.com while the other editions got language-specific subdomains, etc.), so I'd be very interested to know why it was Catalan specifically that changed this. I would have expected German or perhaps French or Japanese to have been the second language (those three were all created very early, but after Catalan). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.136.88.33 (talk • contribs) 
:Just thought of the fact that the Wikipedia subdomains are language-centered, not nation-centered. Thus there is no us.wikipedia.org, no gb.wikipedia.org. And the ca.wikipedia.org has nothing to do with Canada. Maybe this was just a test when trying out the subdomain system back in 2001? With Wikipedia being a US invention, Canada is more present in a US mind than many other over-seas countries... Just my two (Euro)cents--Paracel63 (talk) 22:12, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I've put the day of the first article, this could taked as the creating date of Catalan Wikipedia. German must search the first article's day and then we will see which the second Wikipedia is. German one takes a date of a message written by Jimbo as the date of German Wikipedia creation but that's not trustworthy for me. --83.43.89.230 11:55, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

message: The "Separatist bias" section is a collection of biased sentences without proper references. Let me review them:
:The Catalan Wikipedia has been accused repeatedly of presenting a separatist point of view in its information.https://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussió:Futbol_Club_Barcelona
This reference makes no sense at all. All Wikipedia pages have a Talk page and many of them discuss whether the corresponding article is neutral or it has a biased point of view. That is precisely the function of the Wikipedia talk pages. Using this logic we can say that all Wikipedias are accused repeatedly of presenting a biased point of view in its information. Without external sources that back this, this article cannot claim that Catalan Wikipedia is being accused of presenting a separatist point of view .
: This Wikipedia avoids the relationship of anything coming from Catalonia (municipality, people, organizations...) with Spain, giving the idea that Catalonia is a country in itself. 
False and unreferenced.
: Contrary to the way of introducing cities and towns by all languages (including Catalan when introducing cities outside Catalonia), Catalan Wikipedia doesn't mention Spain in the text as the country where the Catalan places are in.https://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barcelona 
There is no "way of introducing cities and towns by all languages" so this sentence is false, because it implies that Catalan Wikipedia is violating a rule that does not exist.
:According to this Wikipedia, famous people and organizations from Catalonia are not Spanish (e.g., Joan Oró,https://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joan_Oró Josep Comas i Solá,https://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josep_Comas_i_Solà Salvador Dalí,https://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvador_Dal%C3%AD Joan Miró,https://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joan_Miró Josep Carreras,https://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josep_Carreras_i_Coll FC Barcelona...).https://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/FC_Barcelona
None of the articles given as example say that. Furthermore, using Wikipedia as a source for this sentence is a terrible idea, because Wikipedia articles tend to change. Permalinks would still be a bad idea because they would not reflect the current situation for those articles. Without external sources that verify these statements they must be removed from the article --SMP - talk (en) - talk (ca) 17:47, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, that's pure OR. We should also remember that Wikipedia itself is not a reliable source. I'm going to remove that section.--Fauban 08:42, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

text: This is a while later, but both of those are opinion pieces from the same guy; a very anti-independence guy. As well, the translation of país does not perfectly fit into the mold of country and reading the end of the lead says "constituït com a comunitat autònoma d'Espanya" which says quite clearly that it isn't independent. Even the first article shows it as "disputed status" something we showed here on English WIkipedia too. ping me when responding, gràcies! TheKaloo talk 00:43, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

message: I recently noticed that the Viquipèdia en català has a number of Català-language articles on technical subjects that I work on in the English Wikipedia.  I do not speak/write Català; but would be happy to help other editors who do improve some of those articles.  Ping me on my Talk page if interested in some buddy-article improvement.  Cheers.
