You should explain to me why you support a Francoprovençal Wikipedia but oppose one in Ripuarian. Both France and Germany are home of many regional languages that were formerly unanimously called dialects but are now increasingly considered languages. Ripuarian is quite different from Standard German, since 1) old Germanic vowels developed quite differently in Ripuarian than they did in High Franconian (=German); 2) Ripuarian is Middle German, not High German, so it is by far not as much affected by the second Lautverschiebung as Standard German is (<i>so it is quite more distant from German than Bavarian is</i>) and 3) last but not least, it is a tonal language. Trust me, Ripuarian definitely <i>is</i> a separate language. If you oppose having a Ripuarian language you should immediately ask the developers to <i>close down the Limburgish and Alemannic Wikipedias</i>. Finally, having Wikipedias in several regional languages (I think, with Bavarian, Ripuarian and possibly High Saxon we've just done our jobs for Germany) should not distract too many users from the German Wikipedia, since they partly attract a different type of users, and may be a haven for all of them who lose their way in huge pedias like en: and de: and don't know what to write about anymore. <a href="/wiki/User:Caesarion" title="User:Caesarion">Caesarion</a> <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Caesarion" title="User talk:Caesarion"><small>Velim, non opto</small></a> <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Ripuarian#c-Caesarion-2005-09-02T21:24:00.000Z-Arbeo-2005-09-02T16:48:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">21:24, 2 September 2005 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Caesarion-2005-09-02T21:24:00.000Z-Arbeo-2005-09-02T16:48:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2005-09-02T21:24:00.000Z","author":"Caesarion","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Caesarion-2005-09-02T21:24:00.000Z-Arbeo-2005-09-02T16:48:00.000Z","replies":["c-Arbeo-2005-09-04T20:56:00.000Z-Caesarion-2005-09-02T21:24:00.000Z"]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Caesarion-2005-09-02T21:24:00.000Z-Arbeo-2005-09-02T16:48:00.000Z"></span> <ul><li><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Arbeo-2005-09-04T20:56:00.000Z-Caesarion-2005-09-02T21:24:00.000Z"></span>Hi Caesarion! At the end of the day, it's always a case by case decision, of course. But as a general rule of thumb I believe Wikipedias for dialects are to be avoided - and unlike you in this particular case I do consider Ripurian/Kölsch a dialect. This evaluation is, by the way, in line with what a clear majority of relevant scientists thinks about that idiom ("Ethnologue" is very useful but does nevertheless have a few systematic flaws here and there). I'm by no means against dialects or regional languages (as you can see on this page). In fact, I use one quite frequently. But I'm also convinced that if you set out to build a premium encyclopedia using a regional dialect is not the most beneficial option to achive that aim. <a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Arbeo&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:Arbeo (page does not exist)">Arbeo</a> <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Ripuarian#c-Arbeo-2005-09-04T20:56:00.000Z-Caesarion-2005-09-02T21:24:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">20:56, 4 September 2005 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Arbeo-2005-09-04T20:56:00.000Z-Caesarion-2005-09-02T21:24:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2005-09-04T20:56:00.000Z","author":"Arbeo","type":"comment","level":5,"id":"c-Arbeo-2005-09-04T20:56:00.000Z-Caesarion-2005-09-02T21:24:00.000Z","replies":[]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Arbeo-2005-09-04T20:56:00.000Z-Caesarion-2005-09-02T21:24:00.000Z"></span></li></ul></li> <li><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Caesarion-2005-09-05T10:03:00.000Z-Arbeo-2005-09-02T16:48:00.000Z"></span>This case is quite similar to the Francoprovençal one above. Let's compare them: there is a flourishing French Wikipedia. France is linguistically divided in several regional languages, formerly called dialects. The French standard variety belongs to the oïl languages. The other main group is called oc languages and has had a Wikipedia for quite some time now (<a href="https://oc.wikipedia.org/wiki/" class="extiw" title="oc:">oc:</a>). Francoprovençal is really in between, and thus clearly qualifies as a separate language. Now: there is an even more flourishing German Wikipedia. Germany is linguistically divided in several regional languages, formerly called dialects. The German standard variety belongs to the High German languages. The other main group is called Low German and has had a Wikipedia for quite some time now (<a href="https://nds.wikipedia.org/wiki/" class="extiw" title="nds:">nds:</a>). Ripuarian, being a Middle German variety, is really in between, and qualifies even more clearly as separate language. That we call the German variants dialects, not closely related languages, ensues from the presence of a very strong Standard language. If there hadn't been such a strong standard German, nobody would doubt the status of Bavarian, Alemannic and Ripuarian as separate languages, as little as they do for Hawaiian, Tahitian, Tuvaluan and Maori, just to name an example. <a href="/wiki/User:Caesarion" title="User:Caesarion">Caesarion</a> <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Caesarion" title="User talk:Caesarion"><small>Velim, non opto</small></a> <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Ripuarian#c-Caesarion-2005-09-05T10:03:00.000Z-Arbeo-2005-09-02T16:48:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">10:03, 5 September 2005 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Caesarion-2005-09-05T10:03:00.000Z-Arbeo-2005-09-02T16:48:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2005-09-05T10:03:00.000Z","author":"Caesarion","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Caesarion-2005-09-05T10:03:00.000Z-Arbeo-2005-09-02T16:48:00.000Z","replies":["c-Arbeo-2005-09-06T15:18:00.000Z-Caesarion-2005-09-05T10:03:00.000Z"]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Caesarion-2005-09-05T10:03:00.000Z-Arbeo-2005-09-02T16:48:00.000Z"></span> <ul><li><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Arbeo-2005-09-06T15:18:00.000Z-Caesarion-2005-09-05T10:03:00.000Z"></span>Practically everything you're writing is correct and nothing is new to me. Maybe one minor adjustment: dialects are still called dialects here (not "formerly"). Still, I can't think of a single benefit a Ripurian WP could present to anyone. It will always provide less content of inferior quality and be harder to read and even more difficult to write to every "Ripurian" than the standard German WP.

I just wanted to say that they are no longer unanimously called so, since some people are calling them languages for linguistic reasons. And while a Ripuarian Wikipedia will indeed never get up with the German one both in quantity and quality, the very same goes for Sorbian and North Frisian - perhaps even more so, for they have much fewer speakers. And it seems to me untrue that a Ripuarian Wikipedia won't benefit anyone: It is always nice when you can consult information in your own native language or the language you cherish. And while many regional language (yet another more or less neutral term) speakers have difficulty with writing their own variety, the efforts to be done to write it are incomparable to those done before to read and write German: they can learn writing their dialect within a week, and pick it up fully by close reading within less than a month. And after all, they can consult de: or en: for some more detailed information, but that is exactly what we in the Netherlands do when nl: does not provide the information we want. <a href="/wiki/User:Caesarion" title="User:Caesarion">Caesarion</a> <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Caesarion" title="User talk:Caesarion"><small>Velim, non opto</small></a> <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Ripuarian#c-Caesarion-2005-09-07T10:14:00.000Z-Arbeo-2005-09-06T15:18:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">10:14, 7 September 2005 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Caesarion-2005-09-07T10:14:00.000Z-Arbeo-2005-09-06T15:18:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2005-09-07T10:14:00.000Z","author":"Caesarion","type":"comment","level":6,"id":"c-Caesarion-2005-09-07T10:14:00.000Z-Arbeo-2005-09-06T15:18:00.000Z","replies":["c-Arbeo-2005-09-09T18:01:00.000Z-Caesarion-2005-09-07T10:14:00.000Z"]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Caesarion-2005-09-07T10:14:00.000Z-Arbeo-2005-09-06T15:18:00.000Z"></span> <ul><li><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Arbeo-2005-09-09T18:01:00.000Z-Caesarion-2005-09-07T10:14:00.000Z"></span>Agreed with practically everything you're writing (once again!). However, a serious concern of mine is that once you start admitting regional language varieties on Wikipedia (apart from the few ones we already have) you're opening the door to a virtually unlimited number of regional and even local variants and sub-variants. While the number of languages in the world is not clearly definable but somewhat finite, the number of varieties and sub-varieties is downright infinite. Also in view of the Bavarian and Murcian discussions (and many more that are surely bound to come) I believe we should think about introducing certain standards or rules for those cases <u>before</u> creating any further precedences.

My opinion is that the existence of li: justifies the creation of a Ripuarian Wikipedia. What I discourage however is a Wikipedia in dialects like West Thuringian, which is really to close to German. Also of dialects like High Saxon (Magdeburg or Berlin dialects) the language status would be very doubtful. When "they" come up with requests with dialects like these, I will be the first to oppose them. But Ripuarian is really quite far removed from Standard German, more so than Bavarian. <a href="/wiki/User:Caesarion" title="User:Caesarion">Caesarion</a> <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Caesarion" title="User talk:Caesarion"><small>Velim, non opto</small></a> <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Ripuarian#c-Caesarion-2005-09-11T08:48:00.000Z-Arbeo-2005-09-06T15:18:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">08:48, 11 September 2005 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Caesarion-2005-09-11T08:48:00.000Z-Arbeo-2005-09-06T15:18:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2005-09-11T08:48:00.000Z","author":"Caesarion","type":"comment","level":6,"id":"c-Caesarion-2005-09-11T08:48:00.000Z-Arbeo-2005-09-06T15:18:00.000Z","replies":[]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Caesarion-2005-09-11T08:48:00.000Z-Arbeo-2005-09-06T15:18:00.000Z"></span></li></ul></li></ul></li> <li><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-84.60.209.231-2005-09-06T10:24:00.000Z-Arbeo-2005-09-02T16:48:00.000Z"></span>Hi <a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Arbeo&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:Arbeo (page does not exist)">Arbeo</a>, each textbook I choose, and all the Wikipediæ that I can read, if they have it, they define <i>dialect</i> as a <i>language, which ...</i> - so your opposition appears based on sheer ignorance of reality.--<a href="/w/index.php?title=User:84.60.209.231&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:84.60.209.231 (page does not exist)">84.60.209.231</a> <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Ripuarian#c-84.60.209.231-2005-09-06T10:24:00.000Z-Arbeo-2005-09-02T16:48:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">10:24, 6 September 2005 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-84.60.209.231-2005-09-06T10:24:00.000Z-Arbeo-2005-09-02T16:48:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2005-09-06T10:24:00.000Z","author":"84.60.209.231","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-84.60.209.231-2005-09-06T10:24:00.000Z-Arbeo-2005-09-02T16:48:00.000Z","replies":["c-Arbeo-2005-09-06T15:35:00.000Z-84.60.209.231-2005-09-06T10:24:00.000Z"]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-84.60.209.231-2005-09-06T10:24:00.000Z-Arbeo-2005-09-02T16:48:00.000Z"></span> <ul><li><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Arbeo-2005-09-06T15:35:00.000Z-84.60.209.231-2005-09-06T10:24:00.000Z"></span>Hi <a href="/w/index.php?title=User:84.60.209.231&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:84.60.209.231 (page does not exist)">84.60.209.231</a>!

Therefore, regional languages (not dialects) are much more important in Germany and countries with a similar history. They are spoken in everyday-life, and regional language wikipedias have been successfull in high-German (Bavarian, Allemanic) and low-German (low saxon), why not in a middle-German language? After all, Ripuarian is not at all a dialect. There is a lot of regional language wikipedias springing up now, but why forbid one and allow the others? Regional language wikis do attract people who would not be active (or that active) in a standard language wiki; also I would not assume that distracting some minimal attention from the second-biggest wikipedia would be a disaster. As long as there are more or less vivid wikipedias in ancient and non-existing languages like Gothic and Clingon, why should a regional language wiki not be successful? Right now, the Ripuarian Testwiki has more articels than the smallest 77 wikipedias, including a lot of standard language projects. <a href="/wiki/User:Dbach" title="User:Dbach">Dbach</a> <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Ripuarian#c-Dbach-2005-09-07T12:02:00.000Z-84.60.215.33-2005-09-07T11:27:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">12:02, 7 September 2005 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Dbach-2005-09-07T12:02:00.000Z-84.60.215.33-2005-09-07T11:27:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2005-09-07T12:02:00.000Z","author":"Dbach","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Dbach-2005-09-07T12:02:00.000Z-84.60.215.33-2005-09-07T11:27:00.000Z","replies":[]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Dbach-2005-09-07T12:02:00.000Z-84.60.215.33-2005-09-07T11:27:00.000Z"></span></li></ul></li></ul> <dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><b><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-80.134.250.58-2005-09-10T11:44:00.000Z-Ripuarian_(16_support;_2_oppose)"></span>Support</b> If it would be only called <i>Kölsch</i> one could claim this ist just the dialect of a German city but the term <b>Ripuarisch</b> is unique.

I also believe that changing the code later would not be critical - though the easiest way is to avoid that, of course. --<a href="/wiki/User:Purodha" title="User:Purodha">Purodha Blissenbach</a> <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Ripuarian#c-Purodha-2005-10-09T11:41:00.000Z-Purodha-2005-10-06T16:04:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">11:41, 9 October 2005 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Purodha-2005-10-09T11:41:00.000Z-Purodha-2005-10-06T16:04:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2005-10-09T11:41:00.000Z","author":"Purodha","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Purodha-2005-10-09T11:41:00.000Z-Purodha-2005-10-06T16:04:00.000Z","replies":[],"displayName":"Purodha Blissenbach"}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Purodha-2005-10-09T11:41:00.000Z-Purodha-2005-10-06T16:04:00.000Z"></span></li> <li><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-84.60.216.179-2005-10-09T14:47:00.000Z-Purodha-2005-10-06T16:04:00.000Z"></span>'frp' is Franco-Provençal in ISO-639-3.
