​
submitted verification final decision
Discuss the creation of this language project on this page. Votes will be ignored when judging the proposal. Please provide arguments or reasons and be prepared to defend them (see the Language proposal policy).

The language committee needs to verify the language is eligible to be approved.

  • Check that the project does not already exist (see list).
  • Obtain an ISO 639 code
  • Ensure the requested language is sufficiently unique that it could not exist on a more general wiki.
  • Ensure that there are a sufficient number of native editors of that language to merit an edition in that language.
  • The community needs to develop an active test project; it must remain active until approval (automated statistics, recent changes). It is generally considered active if the analysis lists at least three active, not-grayed-out editors listed in the sections for the previous few months.
  • The community needs to complete required MediaWiki interface translations in that language (about localization, translatewiki, check completion).
  • The community needs to discuss and complete the settings table below:
What Value Example / Explanation
Proposal
Language code gcf (SIL, Glottolog) A valid ISO 639-1 or 639-3 language code, like "fr", "de", "nso", ...
Language name Guadeloupean Creole Language name in English
Language name Kréyòl Gwadloup Language name in your language. This will appear in the language list on Special:Preferences, in the interwiki sidebar on other wikis, ...
Language Wikidata item Q3006280 - item has currently the following values:
 Item about the language at Wikidata. It would normally include the Wikimedia language code, name of the language, etc. Please complete at Wikidata if needed.
Directionality LTR Is the language written from left to right (LTR) or from right to left (RTL)?
Links Links to previous requests, or references to external websites or documents.
Site URL gcf.wikipedia.org langcode.wikiproject.org

Settings
Project name Wikipédya "Wikipedia" in your language
Project namespace usually the same as the project name
Project talk namespace "Wikipedia talk" (the discussion namespace of the project namespace)
Enable uploads no Default is "no". Preferably, files should be uploaded to Commons.
If you want, you can enable local file uploading, either by any user ("yes") or by administrators only ("admin").
Notes: (1) This setting can be changed afterwards. The setting can only be "yes" or "admin" at approval if the test creates an Exemption Doctrine Policy (EDP) first. (2) Files on Commons can be used on all Wikis. (3) Uploading fair-use images is not allowed on Commons (more info). (4) Localisation to your language may be insufficient on Commons.
Optional settings
Project logo File:... This needs to be an SVG image (instructions for logo creation).
Default project timezone Continent/City "Continent/City", e.g. "Europe/Brussels" or "America/Mexico City" (see list of valid timezones)
Additional namespaces For example, a Wikisource would need "Page", "Page talk", "Index", "Index talk", "Author", "Author talk".
Additional settings Anything else that should be set
Once settings are finalized, a committee member will submit a Phabricator task requesting creation of the wiki. (This will include everything automatically, except the additional namespaces/settings.) After the task is created, it should be linked to in a comment under "final decision" above.

Proposal

edit

Since we already have kriyol gwiyannenn availaible there is no reason to don't have Guadeloupe Creole, spoken by the whole population and the diaspora, one the most spoken caribbean creole just after the haïtian one. The population speaking it is by far more numerous than the french guiana one, and the population daily connected to the internet, is the country and the diaspora abroad too. It is unfair to not have our language. Beside this language is mostly understandable by most lesser antilles créole speakers (martinique, saint lucia, dominique etc...) this can lead us to more than 1 millions people. On it's own the guadeloupean créole is spoken by 390 000 population, and its huge diaspora in france. Many famous french people are from guadeloupe, Thierry Henry, Teddy Riner, Laura Flessel etc... the guadeloupe créole writting standard exist since the 70s we need it on wikipedia

Similarity to Saint Lucia Creole

edit

Hi!

A question from a Language committee member.

From reading the material about Guadeloupe (gcf) and Saint Lucia (acf) Creole, I'm getting the impression that the two languages are closely related.

Can they be in one Wikipedia?

There is localization in both of them:

There are also attempts to write Wikipedia in both of them:

Do you think that it's the same language, or are they significantly different? --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 23:20, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
