replies: text: Hmm, good question. It's a difficult case, that doesn't really fit anywhere. Personally, I hesitate between the "see also" part of the "artistic and fictional languages" section, and the "miscellaneous" section. I'll leave it up to you. --IJzeren Jan  In mij legge alle fogultjes een ij 15:18, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: There are some stealthlangs listed as "Conlangs created for special purposes". Maybe a "see also" in that section would be the best place?

message: I don't know how the system for that works but I would like to see Ithkuil featured. Now that is one crazy language. Mithridates 17:32, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Why not? My own original idea (see Jon Moore's talk page) was that we follow a pattern like this: auxlang/engelang, artlang/fictlang, auxlang/engelang, artlang/fictlang. Etcetera. That way, we can go through all the conlangs we have, provided that the article in question is substantial enough. In November we had Ido, now we have Quenya, so IMO Ithkuil (a logical language) could certainly be an option for January. ----IJzeren Jan  In mij legge alle fogultjes een ij 23:41, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

message: I don't see the Kotava language in your lists and pages of your portal about constructed languages. Don't you know it ?
:The portal lists only languages that actually have articles about them, or should have articles about them. It is not intended to be a full list of all existing conlangs. There was an article about Kotava for a while, but it has been deleted (see here) and subsequently removed from the lists. —IJzeren Jan  In mij legge alle fogultjes een ij 11:20, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Just thought I'd let people know well ahead of time that Lingua Franca Nova will probably be applying for a Wikipedia sometime this year. I've seen a number of applications get shot down and other Wikipedias that have been accepted go quiet for long periods of time, so back in December we decided to switch the existing wiki over to MediaWiki and use that to make Wikipedia-related content well ahead of time to show at the time of application.
The wiki is located here and has 218 articles at present, though a number of them are not Wikipedia-type content but rather course materials, some translated works, etc. There's also the list of articles each Wikipedia should have here, and it's my opinion and that of others that we should have all these articles with a minumum of ten sentences each before making the application, so there's going to be a lot of preparation before actually applying.
Anybody who would like to help out is welcome to register at the wiki, create or improve articles on lfn in a language they know, or keep an eye on things for when the application is actually made. Maybe in the summer or early autumn, hard to say. Mithridates 12:33, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Is there any Wikipedia guideline for determining the notability of a conlang? Or just Wikipedia:Notability? --Amir E. Aharoni 14:19, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I have revived WP:CL. (Maybe next, WP:CONLANG?)
This included:
* creating & tweaking  [note below]
* tweaking :Category:Constructed languages
* revamping the WP:CL home page, moving several pages around, trimming irrelevancies, etc
* adding WP:ASSESS-ability to all of the above
* adding & moving separate edit wars / deletions page to WP:CL/Edit wars and deletions
* running the WP:ASSESS bot - note that until  is fixed it will not be able to index for importance, but you should still add the ratings for when that happens
* merging Portal collaborators into WP:CL members (note that this all fixed the lack of edit links here)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Saizai (talk • contribs) 16:56, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

message: I've come upon the Niw Englisc language, based on Old English, over at Wikia and at http://home.comcast.net/~modean52/niwenglisc/index.htm - if I were to write an article on it, and list it as a conlang, would it be deleted?  I'm hesitant to write anymore on wikipedia due to the (to me) somewhat overzealous deletion police.  --JamesR1701E (talk) 03:46, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

message: There's talk at Talk:Ivan Karasev‎ about merging Arahau into Ivan Karasev.  I have no strong opinion either way; I'd never heard of this conlang before running across its Wikipedia article so it doesn't seem to be famous in the conlanging community, but if the author is famous enough for his individual books to get their own articles, why not his conlang as well...? --Jim Henry (talk) 17:58, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

message: I have been searching on the Internet for some time looking for Neo (by arturo Alfandari) materials but searches yield only little materials. But The Library of Congress has the original Rapid Method of Neo - so, why doesn't somebody go there, borrow a book, have it scanned and posted here, on Wikipedia? I would have already done that, but I'm not from the US (in fact, I'm from Europe). so, if anybody could help me, thanks A LOT! http://catalog.loc.gov/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?Search_Arg=Rapid+method+of+Neo&Search_Code=GKEY%5E*&PID=UiYWt5ukOI8jeCjL7yydwSi2ZEytV0v&SEQ=20081215183629&CNT=100&HIST=1

message: The article about the Folkspraak language/project was deleted some months ago due to non-notability, non-verifiability and original research.
I have found a probable piece of news about Folkspraak in Swedish: .
If you discover other news items about that language (for instance through Google news or Google alerts or searches on name variations), please add them to this section. As soon as a reasonable number of pieces of news is collected, we will be able to ask for the Folkspraak article to be restored. Thank you for your attention. --Antonielly (talk) 02:02, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals is back!
The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018.
Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, and design the portals of the future.
As of April 29th, membership is at 56 editors, and growing.
There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for each component of portals.
Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.
And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.

message: Hi all,
I've been working on the article on Interlingue (talk page here) for about two years now as I go through old issues of Cosmoglotta and any other sources I can find and have now nominated it as a Good Article in case anyone is interested in wading through it or knows someone who would be. IMO it's now at the maximum size possible for a main article (about 20,000 bytes short of the one for Esperanto) and any more detail would involve creating separate articles.

message: I noticed that in the Constructed writing systems for natural languages section of the Articles table, some of the constructed writing systems' creators are listed alongside the systems they designed (ex. James Evans (linguist) for Cree syllabics or Ronald Kingsley Read for Shavian alphabet). Given the inclusion of Hangul as a constructed writing system, shouldn't Sejong the Great be included under the creators? 
Apologies if this has already been discussed!
