I am separately looking to try to find someone to validate the language. Ideally, that will be someone from the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Broadcasting_Corporation" class="extiw" title="en:Australian Broadcasting Corporation">Australian Broadcasting Corporation</a>'s Tok Pisin service, so that not only can we have verification/non-verification, but perhaps some publicity that will bring in new contributors. If the "verification" uncovers that the bulk of the project is actually not in Tok Pisin, I will reopen the discussion for further ideas as to potential paths forward.

Unfortunately, this is the position that the Tok Pisin Wikipedia now find themselves in. Reviewing recent changes, there have been 27 edits in the last 30 days (except my notice to them, warning them of this proposal). Only ONE of those edits was a human edit actually working on an article - all the others were anti-vandalism work, stewards, CommonsDelinker or renaming. </p><p>There has been a notice for some considerable time on this project's front page, asking for help to revive the wiki if you speak Tok Pisin, which I do not, nor do I suspect, do many others - since it's not a language you can have as a mother tongue, rather it is a lingua franca due to the considerable number of dialects spread across PNG, New Britain and New Ireland. </p><p>The project has no active administrators, only one or two active local human editors, and for all the time it's been open, less than 1500 articles. There has been a brave attempt to build a community here, but bearing in mind that a fair proportion of the population are either illiterate or have difficulty with reading and writing, due to poor education in some areas, there aren't that many people who can or will be able to write these articles and improve what is there. </p><p>I would like to ask that the content of this Wiki be moved to the incubator. I certainly don't want to see it deleted. If at any time the community can be revived while it's on incubator, then I'd welcome it back with open arms.

As a further example, take the article <a href="https://tpi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frens" class="extiw" title="tpi:Frens">Frens</a> (which is not even spelled correctly. The name of the country in Tok Pisin is Pranis). This article has been awaiting proofreading since 2007! The reason they're not getting proofread and checked is there are no native speakers, or people with significant fluency to do the work! That's just one of the 67. To get to the point, it is impossible to judge the accuracy of any of the 1481 articles on this wiki, because the spellings are as inconsistent as the grammar and the usage of the language. There are no hard and fast rules, spellings vary, and to be honest, I'd be willing to stake a large part of my savings that most of those articles weren't even written by people who have any knowledge of Tok Pisin whatsoever. The whole thing is a mish-mash, a mixture of English, things that look like English and probably aren't, and things that are meant to look like someone else's language and probably never have any relation to it. <a href="/wiki/User:DaneGeld" title="User:DaneGeld">DaneGeld</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:DaneGeld" title="User talk:DaneGeld">talk</a>) <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_Tok_Pisin_Wikipedia#c-DaneGeld-2018-07-12T21:42:00.000Z-DaneGeld-2018-07-12T21:20:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">21:42, 12 July 2018 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-DaneGeld-2018-07-12T21:42:00.000Z-DaneGeld-2018-07-12T21:20:00.000Z"><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></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-DaneGeld-2018-07-12T21:42:00.000Z-DaneGeld-2018-07-12T21:20:00.000Z"></span></dd> <dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Prosfilaes-2018-07-12T23:20:00.000Z-DaneGeld-2018-07-12T21:20:00.000Z"></span>The Wikipedia article claims that it is the first language of 100,000 people.

Face it. TPI Wikipedia is dead in the water. If there are indeed, as the English Wikipedia claims, 100,000 native speakers, that's 100,000 people out of 8.08 MILLION (the population of Papua New Guinea as of 2016 census) who could potentially contribute to the TPI Wikipedia.

An identical wiki to SEWP where only local people speak the language would never get the same kind of scrutiny.) I think where I am headed with this one is to see if we can find someone who is expert enough in the language to give us a read on it; surely if it is as widely spoken in Papua New Guinea as the enwiki article indicates, we can find someone who answers to that description.

By all means, if it's actually in Tok Pisin, I will let it sit and see what happens. As I said to Prosfilaes a couple of posts up, the "native speaking" (according to Wikipedia) population, is only 1.23% of the whole of Papua New Guinea. Finding someone with enough knowledge to verify it might not be so hard - there are radio broadcasters who work in Tok Pisin for example, ABC Radio Australia have a Tok Pisin news service, as does EMTV who broadcast to Papua New Guinea. There is also a newspaper called the "Wantok", which is the only Tok Pisin language newspaper in the whole country.

Around 2008–2010 this wasn't the case, because a lot of small projects ended up as dumping grounds for spam, and it was hard to keep them patrolled. Things are so much better now that LangCom tends to want to leave projects open: <ul><li>WMF doesn't really see quiet, inactive projects as embarrassing, if you will. As long as there is not embarrassing spam content in there, then in most cases articles consist of reasonable, correct content, perhaps in some cases a little dated, but not embarrassing.</li> <li>Wikinews is a little different, because stale news is, well, stale. So we have taken to using "soft closes" for that. There are a couple of recent examples you can look at.</li> <li>Otherwise, LangCom's attitude is that as long as the project exists, and infrastructure is in place, it's easier to let it sit there to wait for new contributors to come at some future date than it is to pack it into Incubator and then possibly having to export it again someday. From the point of view of "how does it look to the outside", there isn't much difference between its being quiet in its own subdomain and its being quiet in Incubator. Now we want to minimize the number of <i>new</i> projects that end up being dormant like that, so that's why there are some hurdles to jump to get a project opened in the first place. But once they're there, we try to let them stay open if we can.</li></ul></dd> <dd>Actually, we usually ask for people with academic or linguistic credentials to check languages. But that usually happens on final project approval, not early on in the process like this is. I'm wondering if it wouldn't be a good idea to get the ABC Tok Pisin news service, and/or <i>Wantok</i>, to vet this, and perhaps to run a story to encourage some new contributors. <a href="/wiki/User:StevenJ81" title="User:StevenJ81">StevenJ81</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:StevenJ81" title="User talk:StevenJ81">talk</a>) <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_Tok_Pisin_Wikipedia#c-StevenJ81-2018-07-16T23:20:00.000Z-DaneGeld-2018-07-16T22:29:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">23:20, 16 July 2018 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-StevenJ81-2018-07-16T23:20:00.000Z-DaneGeld-2018-07-16T22:29:00.000Z"><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></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-StevenJ81-2018-07-16T23:20:00.000Z-DaneGeld-2018-07-16T22:29:00.000Z"></span> <dl><dd><b><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-DaneGeld-2018-07-17T11:44:00.000Z-StevenJ81-2018-07-16T23:20:00.000Z"></span>Note</b>: It is possible that the Wantok Niuspepa is no longer published.

There are 8.2 million people in the country, about 4.2 mlilion have at least a passive knoweldge of Tok Pisin. Yes, we are talking about a creole language, with an ISO 639 code (tpi). If the project really is about supporting language communities, there's a case we neeed to support. There may be issues such as literacy, or access to Internet which may stand in the way, but these issues should not lead to the WMF dropping the language: As to Admins: there are many small wikis without their own admins, so that's not an issue. Note: Niederdeutsch (NDS) has about double the number of passive speakers.. Samic languages: about 24k speakers, 17k or so speak/understand Northern Sami; there's a wikipedia for Northern Sami (se.). We should therefore look at reviving the project.
