Description Rajesh Ranjan 2013-02-13 09:10:32 UTC
Maithili is in Incubator and we need a wikipedia mailing list to work with the community of Maithili language. 

Please create the one.

Thanks!

Hi Rajesh, are you happy with the list name: Wikipedia-MAI? Please could you also provide the email address of an alternate list admin?
Comment 2 Rajesh Ranjan 2013-02-16 15:41:58 UTC
Thanks! The List name is fine.

Gajendra Thakur <ggajendra@videha.com> 

Please add the ^^ as alternate list admin.

See also bug 45091 as the wiki doesn't exist.

Amir, I put here a request for mailing list only after the consultation with you. Please check and let me know what makes my request invalid.
Comment 5 Muzammil 2014-09-23 18:53:28 UTC
There is need to re-examine the refusal:
1) Activity level has increased - 16 active users and about 60 overall users.
2) Likelihood of the Wikipedia in the near future (see: http://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/09/08/a-focused-approach-for-maithili-wikipedia/)
3) Growing social media activity for the Wikipedia: https://www.facebook.com/MaithiliWikipedia?fref=ts

Regards,
Muzammil.

Comment 8 John F. Lewis 2014-09-27 13:02:16 UTC
There has been an increase in activity.

THO forwarded me an email regarding a reconsideration of this request, I personally see no issue with this and will deal with this.

@Muzammil: Who would the list administrators be now since the original request was made well over a year ago?

I think you can add me also an administrator for the list. I will discuss with Biplab to see if he too is interested as he is very active on the incubator project.
