The closing committee member provided the following comment:

This discussion was created before the implementation of the Language proposal policy, and it is incompatible with the policy. Please open a new proposal in the format this page has been converted to (see the instructions). Do not copy discussion wholesale, although you are free to link to it or summarise it (feel free to copy your own comments over). —{admin} Pathoschild 22:02:16, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

  • People interested joining:
    • ThomasMAllen I would certainly help to translate the current English pages
    • Z.Spy I will certainly contribute to a Pig Latin Wikipedia, I am able to Write, Speak, and Understand Pig Latin quite Proficently. Contact me by Emailing through Wikipedia.
    • NazismIsntCool. I would translate the English and the Romanian pages - and probably the ones in Moldovan.
    • Strikebf. I would be glad to help with this and translate current English pages as well as some French pages.
      • What do you have against the Moldovan Wikipedia? Why are you making these weird, underhanded jokes about it? Not funny. --Node ue 17:37, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
        • That's not a joke. I myself think Romanian and Moldovan are the same, except that Moldovan can be written in Cyrillic. Pig Latin will work for any language, eg. buna ziua, although in a different language, can be written una-bay iua-zay. And don't say that Pig Latin can't be adapted to the Cyrillic alphabet, for example the Moldovan phrase БУНА ЗИУА might become УНА-БИ ИУА-ЗИ. I'm not here to support political purposes like Romanian being renamed Moldovan. :-) NazismIsntCool 07:05, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
          • Moldovan is still written in Cyrillic in Transnistria, so mo: was created. Scott Gall 07:46, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
          • As I have frequently noted, nobody in the whole situation is arguing that it's a separate language -- rather, for the right of people to call their native language wahtever they want. Thus, Moldovan and Romanian are the same language -- very few people disagree with that, even we who say we speak "Moldovan". --Node ue 14:49, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
            • So that means that New Zealanders can call English or Maori "Kiwi" to serve the same ends as people in Moldova speaking Moldovan instead of Romanian? Scott Gall 05:48, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
