# விக்கிப்பீடியா:தமிழ்த் தூதரகம் (Tamil Embassy)

## Request for suggestions and opinion

Before couple of weeks undersigned did small effort to study **new users list** at Special:Log/newusers for some languages (a chart is shown below). **was created automatically** (I don't know if correct Malyalam translation is എന്ന ഉപയോക്തൃ അംഗത്വം സ്വയം സൃഷ്ടിക്കപ്പെട്ടിരിക്കുന്നു ) category is much more for Indic language wikipedias (ref: a chart is shown below). The reason behind this is majority of people use English search engine versions (like as of google) there they naturally first reach to English Wikipedia and they create account at English Wikipedia then there after these people reach to their own mother tongue destination wikipedias. If search engines and keyboard languages as default would have been their mother tongues these people would have reached their own language wiki's faster. When a person reaches to this Special:UserLogin/signup new account opening form neither his mother tongue is asked on that form nor Universal language support is provided at Special:UserLogin/signup.  
If you see at en wiki template https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Not_English english wikipedia also has avoidable issues with unnecessary non-English use on en wikipedia.  
When I studied Special:Log/newusers (new users list) for some of the language wikis from http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wikipedias on wikis where **was created automatically** percentage is less and more account names are created in their own languages progress and development of those wikis is likely to be better. What I wish to propose is even if some one is opening new account at en wikipedia new account opening form Special:UserLogin/signup on the basis of IP location identification these new account opening people should be asked for their language and supported with appropriate Universal Language input tools. If some one is from Chennai or Benglore they should be shown south Indian language options on priority where as if some one is from north indian plateau they should be shown Marathi Hindi and other options based on the IP location. The whole purpose is to provide facility at the time.  
Additional reasons are a) When some one sees a language s/he usually starts thinking in that language, the people usually opening account at English Wikipedia and then reaching to mother tongue end up using English even at their mother tongue wikis, a proper support to users may improve their participation in wikipedia movement b) For a novice activating their own mother tongue at English Wikipedia does not occur naturally because it is not default c) even on local language wikis where ULS is available as default the small activation sign keeps appearing and disappearing in a distant corner and is not easy to understand for a novice I intend to ask for even video clip support in appropriate language be provided at [[Special:UserLogin/signup.  
And also an option to reach to their own language wikipedia directly after registration of the new account.  
I am just in process of consultation with indic wikipedian after their suggestions and opinions I propose to open RFC may be at Meta and/or discuss the issue at appropriate forum.
