Criteria for activity

[edit source]

Check this discussion: Incubator_talk:Featured_wikis#"These_are_active_and_might_get_their_own_site_soon":_Criteria?

Based on https://meta.toolforge.org/catanalysis/index.php?cat=0&title=Wp/apc&wiki=incubatorwiki there are currently 2 active contributors for the past 2 months. apc needs 3 active contributors every month. So @HitomiAkane @FunLater @TheJoyfulTentmaker: make sure you come here at least once a month to make a non-minor edit ;) (unfortunately I'm not a native speaker so I can't help)

This is more important than the total number of articles. Looking at recently approved new Wikipedias, it seems that about one year of activity (meaning, at least 3 editors every single month) is sufficient for approval. A455bcd9 (talk) 11:56, 26 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

@A455bcd9 Thank you for pointing this out, we will try to make our best, as for now we are creating the main bases of Wikipedia project, as policies and guidelines, and we'll try to consider your note. HitomiAkane (talk) 13:03, 26 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
You're doing a fantastic job, it's impressive! A455bcd9 (talk) 15:05, 26 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
@A455bcd9 Thanks, I'm doing my best HitomiAkane (talk) 15:10, 26 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for bringing this up, this is very helpful guidance @A455bcd9! I am a learner of the language myself, but my contributions could count as legitimate activity since I am in contact with native speakers through our Discord server and through other personal channels. Still, one of my priorities is to help build the community, so I'm also actively trying to find more contributors. I may open a separate thread to discuss those strategies. I'm hoping that the Levantine WP will get its own domain sometime in 2025 if everything goes well 🙏🤞. TheJoyfulTentmaker (talk) 02:54, 27 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
By the way, I think that tool is requiring at least 10 non-minor edits per month. Usernames below this number that month are grayed out. It may not be a hard requirement, but seems to be the heuristic that is used right now. Just an FYI... Anyway... happy new year, and thanks so much everyone for the amazing milestones in 2024! Wishing everyone a wonderful 2025! CC: @A455bcd9 @HitomiAkane @FunLater TheJoyfulTentmaker (talk) 20:37, 29 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
You're right: "Bots, and users with less than 10 edits, are struck out or discounted." A455bcd9 (talk) 09:05, 30 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Proposal for Wikimedia User Group: Wikimedians of Varieties of Arabic

[edit source]

Hi, I am thinking of forming a Wikimedia User Group that would jointly support Wikimedia Projects in all Arabic Variaties, including Levantine Arabic, Egyptian, Moroccan, Modern Standard Arabic etc. Would you be interested in becoming the initial members? There is no time commitment and we can discuss further steps later on. @A455bcd9 @FunLater @HitomiAkane If there is enough support, I will start by creating the page as described here.

@TheJoyfulTentmaker
Although I don't mind the idea, I must point out these two things:
1. There will be a great contrast between Modern Standard Arabic and other Arabic varieties.
2. I still have a lot of work on the Levant project, so I may not have the needed time to be involved along the creation process of the Wikimedia User Group.
Otherwise, I support any efforts towards group work.
Good luck. HitomiAkane (talk) 22:55, 26 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for your support @HitomiAkane, your endorsement is sufficient and no additional work is needed. I believe your work for the Levantine Project already counts towards this initiative. 🙏 The purpose is basically a) to get some funding from the WMF for activities that can not be substituted with volunteer work (such as trainings, conferences , etc) and b) this may help us build a friendly relationship with the MSA content contributors, who typically know at least one additional dialect.
@MRidhaAJ @Kirkukturk3: Would you be interested in joining or endorsing such a group? TheJoyfulTentmaker (talk) 01:04, 27 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
I will be interested in joining and endorsing it. Best iraqi (talk) 13:27, 27 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
Thanks everyone for the responses. I have started writing the page on Meta. If you have any feedback please let me know or directly edit the page. TheJoyfulTentmaker (talk) 02:06, 2 February 2025 (UTC)Reply
