submitted verification final decision

This language has been verified as eligible.
The language is eligible for a project, which means that the subdomain can be created once there is an active community and a localized interface, as described in the language proposal policy. You can discuss the creation of this language project on this page.

Once the criteria are met, the language committee can proceed with the approval.

If you think the criteria are met, but the project is still waiting for approval, feel free to notify the committee and ask them to consider its approval.

A committee member provided the following comment:

Project is eligible. Please review the requirements for final project approval. This test project has a long way to go before meeting those requirements. For LangCom: StevenJ81 (talk) 17:11, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • The community needs to develop an active test project; it must remain active until approval (automated statistics). 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 ur (SIL, Glottolog) A valid ISO 639-1 or 639-3 language code, like "fr", "de", "nso", ...
Language name Urdu Language name in English
Language name اردو 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 Q1617 - 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 RTL 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 ur.wikisource.org langcode.wikiproject.org

Settings
Project name ویکی ماخذ "Wikisource" in your language
Project namespace ویکی ماخذ usually the same as the project name
Project talk namespace تبادلۂ خیال ویکی ماخذ "Wikisource talk" (the discussion namespace of the project namespace)
Enable uploads yes 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:Wikisource-logo-ur.svg This needs to be an SVG image (instructions for logo creation).
Default project timezone Asia/Islamabad "Continent/City", e.g. "Europe/Brussels" or "America/Mexico City" (see list of valid timezones)
Additional namespaces صفحہ، تبادلۂ خیال صفحہ، اشاریہ، تبادلۂ خیال اشاریہ 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

Urdu, the official language of Pakistan is one of the largest spoken languages in the world. I strongly feel it deserves its own wikisource ----Bukhari Talk 12:51, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

We have been working for some time have and have uploaded many texts on the Multilingual Wikisource. I think its time that we have a separate domain for Urdu Wikisource. Besides this, a few writers have started donating their books and more will follow. --Bukhari (Talk!) 10:49, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Are InternetArchive books free content compatible with Wikimedia? --Zerabat (discusión) 21:26, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    @Zerabat: Bueno, la mayoría de los textos del Wikisource en bengalí, por ejemplo, se obtenía de la Biblioteca Digital de India, cuya colección (reflejada en el Archivo del Internet por el enlace dato) contiene libros en el dominio publico en India. Ya que las leyes sobre los derechos del autor en el subcontinente indio son similares entre sus paises (la vida del author más 50 o 60 años), y ya que es seguro suponer que la gran mayoría de los libros del BDI no fueron publicados en los EE.UU, me parecía que este Wikisource nuevo puede adoptar una política que permite subir esos textos.
