Wikilanguages
This seems to be a separate, unofficial wikimedia project, Jguk 09:46, 18 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete I would have to agree this is an attempt to create a new Wikimedia project, and an orphaned page at that. I would try to encourage contacting the original author, but it appears as though his last edit was in April of last year.  --Rob Horning 12:18, 18 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I am the original author and have been unable devote time to this project recently. I was hoping that others would take it up. Is there someway to publicize this and perhaps make it into an official Wikimedia project? I don't think many would disagree that having spoken examples of all the world's languages and dialects is a good idea and would make a major contribution to the wikisphere.Gary Cziko 12:48, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
 * There are a number of very worthy projects like this that IMHO should be started in somewhere, and Wikibooks has been an incubator for a number of these in the past. If you look at Proposals for new projects, there are a very large number of projects like this that have been proposed over the years, so this isn't even something new.  The biggest problem that most Wikibooks contributors have with things like this (or Wikiversity for that matter) is that they draw a focus away from the development of textbooks and make it very hard to define what Wikibooks is even about.  I just started a new project proposal called Wikikernel which is specifically oriented toward providing a place for neat ideas like this.  Let's see if the idea gets any sort of support.  --Rob Horning 17:24, 18 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete. I would suggest a transwiki to the Wikimedia Commons, but the entire project appears to be empty. In whatever case, a gallery of sound files should be at the Commons, not here. --Kernigh 04:31, 20 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete. In addition to the objections from Rob Horning and Kernigh, this is original research.  --JMRyan 00:35, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
