[edit] Languages linked to Haaptblatt
Instead of having hundreds of languages linked to the Haaptblatt, I think it is best if we just keep several languages with which Pennsylvania Dutch would have affinity. We have retained historical colonial languages important in southeastern Pennsylvania (Swedish, Welsh, English), as well as other languages that are currently widely spoken in southeastern Pennsylvania (Spanish); wikipedias in German languages or dialects and also Yiddish; the America-based wikipedias (Cree, Cherokee, etc.).

[edit] Haaptblatt New Look
What is a better image? Is the image too big? What are your opinions about the Haaptblatt? In having a drawn image we are distancing ourselves from what other Wikipedias are doing on their main page. The image is culturally relevant, and perhaps we, as representing a minority language, can afford the luxury of being different from the other wikipedias. What do you think?
Was fer Pikder iss besser? Iss die Pikder zu gross? Was meenet dihr vun unser Haaptblatt? In dem ass mir en gmolde Pikder henn uff unerem Haaptblatt duhne mir Dinge annerscht ass wie die annere grossere Wikipedias. Die Pikder iss pleen unn so wie es iss bei uns, unn velleicht iss es gans allrecht fer different sei. Was meenet?
What do you think about the different pictures... which one is ideal, or should we get rid of the image, or have a different image? / Was denket vun unsere Pikder, was farriche Pikder gleichet bescht odder sedde mir ken Pikder, odder en anner Pikder uffduh?
Ich gleich des Bild (3) bescht. Verleicht sett mer yuscht die Heiser/Scheier een bissli gleener mache un die Schrift greeser. Es waer aa gut, wann mer een amisches Weggli aryedswie zwische die Gebier hieduh kennt. Odder een Weggli newwich des Watt "Wilkum ..." (?)

[edit] Great project / why English links
Hi, I've just come across your project, and I love it. I'm a German speaker and had no idea that it's so easy to understand Pennsylvania Dutch--Americans had told me so much about all those differences and that Germans wouldn't understand it, but at least in written form its origins are easily visible...
Just a quick note: Why do you have some English links, buttons, etc.? "View source", "history", "Current events", "Go", "Search", the entire "toolbox" etc. etc. seem oddly out of place on this project. Any particular reason? Best, en/de:Ibn Battuta / 71.232.93.40 23:22, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
- Good question. There are two reasons, first is that one must be a sysop to change these, and we do not have the power to give sysop status. We have to go through mediawiki which is a nightmare especially since most of our potential sysops are pretty busy. I have sysop status but don't have the time or the wikipedia-language know-how to quickly make all the changes. It should be done however. Dischdeldritsch 16:47, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

- I see and keep my fingers crossed that you'll steer safely and quickly through the nightmare some day... :o) Anyway, thanks for the quick reply! --en/de:Ibn Battuta / 71.232.93.40 03:02, 6 Abrill 2007 (UTC)
Wow, from a native German speaker's perspective..this is ugly.
