Re Tok Pisin Wikipedia and Wiktionary

[edit]

Gut moningtaim hia, Jesse, long Maryland, U.S.A.

I've requested and been given temporary sysop/administrator permissions so I can revitalize the moribund Tok Pisin Wikipedia and Wiktionary.  To get the ball rolling I've proposed to the members of the WikiProject Melanesia that interested members join/form an ad hoc board of editors to establish parameters for the project, e.g., who to write the two Wikis for; whether they should be monolingual in tok pisin or bi-lingual in Inglis and tok pisin (i.e., one-to-one translations of identical articles), whether or not articles should be focused on the peoples, places, art, architecture, and cultures of Melanesia and the surrounding islands, Oceania, and the Pacific Rim countries, or have "universal" coverage, as is done in the English Wikipedia.

I'm sure that yu ken tingting moa na kampapim wantaim long moapela Wikipedia/Wiktionary content parameters than I can, being well-versed not only with tok pisin, but having gone to skul in PNG and having a good idea of what the relationship is to the use of tok pisin to the use of English, and how useful the two Wikis would be as educational tools.

I would personally really appreciate hearing your insights and suggestions for the reconstruction and revitalization of the two Wikis.  If you would, could you go to the Tok Pisin subpage and add your views to the discussions there?  There's also a TPI Wikipedia subpage for TPI Wikipedia-related stuff, and a TPI Wiktionary subpage for TPI Wiktionary-related stuff.

I do hope that you'll be interested and willing to join WikiProject Melanesia, and our small group of 'activists' working on the TPI Wikipedia/Wiktionary sub-project; we think it's a very worthwhile cause, and hope you'll come along with us.

Thanks, and very best regards. K. Kellogg-Smith 04:44, 11 July 2007 (UTC) (call me Ken)[reply]
