message: * Just to see what can be done, I'm gonna create a "collaborations" section on the main project page. My idea for collaborations is that, instead of working intensely on one article for a short period of time, I would put up four. Then people could pop in and out, adding a little something to any one of the four over a longer period of time. Rather than high-intensity, narrow-focus collaboration, it would be lower-intensity, broader-focus collaboration.
*My idea is to put up two "endangered languages" and two "language revitalization" links. However, I am not really sure which languages would be good ones for the "endangered languages" topics. I am open to suggestions...

replies: text: Sounds good, from my experience with WP:MESO there's probably not yet the critical mass of active participants to expect too much rapid development, and so broader and longer focus would seem to be more achievable.  Might like to start out with one of these from the Mesoamerican languages, since a few of those signed up are active in that area.--cjllw | TALK 02:43, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  collaborations 

message: I think there is a (perhaps small but) significant number of Wikipedians here (and we can probably recruit more, with time) who will agree that this is an important project, well worth pursuing, and who are willing to do what we can to ensure that it survives and prospers. Ling.Nut has done a great service by acting to set this thing going, thereby creating an opportunity that we must all now seize.
It is my suspicion that there are several of us here who believe this, but perhaps none of us has come to the fore to volunteer ourselves as a new "leader" (in a manner of speaking) because (1) we're worried about the time commitment (or our time is already committed); (2) we're worried about the responsibility; (3) we feel inadequate to the task or don't know enough about it. (I include myself.) This does NOT mean we don't care about Enlang or are unwilling to help if we can.
If I am right about that, then what I think we have to do at this stage is attempt a COLLECTIVE COMMITMENT. Perhaps the above-mentioned limitations are true of all of us here and now as individuals but AS A TEAM, complementing (and encouraging) each other, we can still move forward on this project. I propose we make a move in that direction now, in response to Ling.Nut's announcement, and that the first move should be a symbolic re-confirmation of our willingness to keep the flag flying for endangered languages through this wikiproject. I know we have already created a list of participants, but it won't hurt to reaffirm our preparedness to do what we can and let Ling.Nut know that. So can I start the ball rolling? --A R King 08:26, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I've been trying to re-locate a really nifty interactive-overlay PDF of BC aboriginal languages, created using the BC provincial government's MapPlace system in some kind of joint project with I think the Union of BC Indian Chiefs, or one of the major First Nations governments (neat if I can find it, will post the link here if I do) and came across this which looks like it's of interest in terms of general topics concerning endangered languages management/issues, so posting it here FYI for anybody who finds it interesting.

replies: text: Well, as for the link it seems to have problems loading; the main mapplace map doesn't; not so often; has to do with server-load on the govt, or shoddy software maintenance or whatever (often the case with bc basemap and related services at maps.gov.bc.ca).  The language map I was talking about was linked off one of the main BC First Nations pages, danged if I can remember which one; it was off an External Link; gonna have a look around again but there's lots of even "main" pages it might be on....if I find it I'll be back of course.  the MapPlace tool, somewhere on the main page, for making your own maps, is pretty cool but like I said seems to have trouble loading; copyright-free map generation, at least for anything in BC.Skookum1 21:40, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Anyone working on relevant articles of late? I just wrote what amounts to a glorified stub on Nuwa/Kawaiisu. (Still quite shoddy, but it's a start.) In the process I found a template that others might find interesting: Wikipedia:WikiProject_Languages/Template. Unfortunately for endangered languages many of the categories in the template are more or less irrelevant. Nonetheless, I found it to be useful for getting something started. I'd welceme revisions, and will seek out some more resources on Nuwa myself. Cheers, --babbage (talk) 23:40, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

message: What is the scope of this project? I'm asking because User:Auslli has tagged the talk page of Diego de Torres Villarroel (an 18th-century Spanish writer who wrote mainly in Castilian), among other authors, with your banner because Torres Villarroel apparently wrote a few works in the Leonese language. I can see the point of tagging the last speakers of a language (e.g. Tevfik Esenç - although Ubykh is now effectively dead rather than endangered) or writers or have revived a literature such as Frédéric Mistral (assuming Provencal is regarded as an endangered language) but Torres Villarroel seems a bit too far. Any second opinions welcome. Cheers. --Folantin (talk) 08:48, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello, I show you the official scopes (Bold is mine):
Adding to the store of encyclopedic knowledge available on Wikipedia regarding endangered languages and language revitalization. The means of doing so are: 
To create, expand, and maintain articles related to endangered languages: 
identify gaps, check for completeness of coverage, start new articles, expand entries on little-known or neglected, but still notable, subjects ensure consistency of information across articles. 
To serve as the centralized place for all discussions related to endangered languages in Wikipedia. 
To create standards, guidelines, and recommendations for how to better organize and structure articles related to language endangerment, language revitalization and endangered languages. 
To provide editors with resources to assist them with their edits. 
That's because I tagged the article, because I was expandig it and categorizing articles related to the Leonese language. People who want to know more about this languages, go to the category and can see a couple of writers that used leonese language. So, the tag for this Group, that just says: "This article is within the scope of WikiProject Endangered languages, a collaborative effort to improve the coverage of Endangered languages on Wikipedia.

You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

I'm currently working with UNESCO to help find ways to make their content more useful for Wikipedia. I'm developing a way for text from UNESCO publications to be easily usable on Wikipeda, please see here for more details and instructions.
I think a very useful publication for Wikiproject Languages would be Atlas of the World Languages in Danger which is provides an overview of endangered languages within each region, perhaps the desriptions could be used to create Wikipedia articles for endangered languages within each area and/or endangered languages within language groups?
Please let me know what you think and if you need any more information, I'm also currently indexing all the languages listed in the world atlas into Wikidata which would provide an overview of what languages are not covered on Wikipedia already. I'm currently doing a project to create Wikipedia articles from official descriptions of Biosphere Reserves, here is a map of all the Biosphere Reserves in the world without English language Wikipedia articles generated live by Wikidata, something similar could possibly be created for languages.
Many thanks

message: A new Newsletter directory has been created to replace the old, out-of-date one. If your WikiProject and its taskforces have newsletters (even inactive ones), or if you know of a missing newsletter (including from sister projects like WikiSpecies), please include it in the directory! The template can be a bit tricky, so if you need help, just post the newsletter on the template's talk page and someone will add it for you.

message: Hello, I guess that some of you may be interested to express your opinion on RfC if the country infobox (Serbia in this case) should contain "Recognised regional or minority languages" or should they be removed. The RfC can be seen on THIS LINK. Best regards and thank you for your contribution.--MirkoS18 (talk) 21:31, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

message: Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.
We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma (talk) 04:24, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

message: Hi, I'm Gat lombart, I'm from Lombardy and I'm starting a wiktionary in Lombard language. 
I point out that in the wiktionary there are some appendices that explain Lombard grammar, but just written in Lombard. They are collected in the category :incubator:Category: Wt/lmo/Gramatega_lombarda. The most important one is the one that explains the sentence constructions: incubator:Wt/lmo/Appendix:Costruzzion_de_la_fras_in_lombard. Moreover I point out that a new ortography, the New Lombard Ortography, has been gaining ground for about two years on wiki projects in Lombard. Lombard wiktionary is written by using this ortography. 
As I am already busy with the wiktionary I will not have time to help you directly, in the translation of the pages, but I will be able to help you to translate some word through the wiktionary itself. 
You can ask me for the translation of some  words by writing it on this page. I hope you can help me to build wiktionary too, since the wiktionary needs users to start. It would also be nice if anyone of you were interested in learning the Lombard language. 
If someone wants to add English translations of Lombard words they can do so by writing *ingles: word traslation into english under the model   like in this example: incubator:Wt/lmo/aneda --Gat lombart (talk) 07:58, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
