Hi Eequor,
Doing cleanup activities on the Inuktitut Wikipedia is ultimately a good thing, but I don't think it's constructive to post large hunks of text in English as new articles - new articles should be reserved for fluent speakers, or at least should be attempts at good Inuktitut with no English.
--Node 04:31, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Yes, I know. It's at least some sort of starting point. My feeling is that English should be okay for essential articles, if nothing else is available. It's common among the Inuit, and unfortunately it's becoming more common. So at least there's familiarity.
- On the other hand, certainly no article titles should be in English, and probably should be in ᑎᑎᕋᐅᓯᖅ ᓄᑖᖅ, with inuujingajut only for redirects. Snail and Postal will both have to go.
- I'm hoping the two Canadians who have visited might be more than occasional visitors. Somebody is more familiar with Inuktitut than I am; the main page had a few words already. History and music, if I recall correctly.
- In any event, somebody ought to appreciate the irony in the decay from "default" English to Inuktitut. ^_^ --ᐃᖁᐆᕐ 05:10, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
[ᓱᖁᓯᖅᐹ ᐃᓚ] Stub pages
Since the odds are good that we've got at least some Inuktitut vocabulary wrong, I'm putting up stubs with approximate English so that if we ever get actual Inuktitut speakers here, they'll at least be able to see what we were trying to do.
Also, there is now a text that appears when you add {{stub}} to a page. My first attempt at Inuktitut composition. What the hell.
Also, I propose as standard practice to put ICI/Nunavut Roman spellings at the top of each page with a name in syllabics. ᑏᑎᕉ 09:23, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)
[ᓱᖁᓯᖅᐹ ᐃᓚ] High Speed Internet comes to Nunavut
We may have company soon. Nunanet is planning on offering high-speed access in Iqaluit before X-mas [1] and in 25 other Nunavut communities by March. [2] And the Kativik Regional Government is supposed to have high-speed up and running in Nunavik as of last month. [3] Both are at C$60 per month, which means that all schools will have it and wealthier Inuit will be able to afford it.
Good. This will make it a lot easier to bring Inuktitut speakers here. ᑏᑎᕉ 11:18, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
[ᓱᖁᓯᖅᐹ ᐃᓚ] Template:Nunavut qaliujaaq
Eequor, can you remove Template:Nunavut qaliujaaq? It was an experiment that didn't work.
I've started soliciting entries from people who have posted informational materials on the web. So far, no answers. In the mean time, look at the infobox at ᑎᑎᕋᐅᔭᖅ. I think this might be a good idea for an Inuktitut Wikipedia because of the multiplicity of standard spellings and the nature of Inuktitut lexicology. A lot of Inuit will know the English work but have never heard an Inuktitut word for some of these things.

[ᓱᖁᓯᖅᐹ ᐃᓚ] Bot policy
Hello. To facilitate steward granting of bot access, I'd like to implement the standard bot policy on this wiki. This will involve creating a redirect to this page from Wikipedia:Bot policy, and adding a line at the top noting that it is used here. In particular, this policy allows automatic acceptance of known interlanguage linking bots, which form the vast majority of such requests.
Please read the text at m:Bot policy before commenting. If you object, please say so; it will be implemented in one week if there is no objection, since it is particularly written to streamline bot requests on wikis with little or no community interested in bot access requests. —Pathoschild 07:11, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
[ᓱᖁᓯᖅᐹ ᐃᓚ] Election Notice, Please Translate
The 2008 Board election committee announces the 2008 election process. Wikimedians will have the opportunity to elect one candidate from the Wikimedia community to serve as a representative on the Board of Trustees. The successful candidate will serve a one-year term, ending in July 2009.
Candidates may nominate themselves for election between May 8 and May 22, and the voting will occur between 1 June and 21 June. For more information on the voting and candidate requirements, see <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Board_elections/2008>.
The voting system to be used in this election has not yet been confirmed, however voting will be by secret ballot, and confidentiality will be strictly maintained.
Votes will again be cast and counted on a server owned by an independent, neutral third party, Software in the Public Interest (SPI). SPI will hold cryptographic keys and be responsible for tallying the votes and providing final vote counts to the Election Committee. SPI provided excellent help during the 2007 elections.
Further information can be found at <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Board_elections/2008/en>. Questions may be directed to the Election Committee at <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Board_elections/2008/en>.
