[fatuʻi vahe] Request

Greetings Tauʻolunga!

Can you please kindly help me create a stub for this article - based on the English article.

Just 3-6 lines would be sufficient enough and your help would be very gratefully appreciated. Thankyou.

(For your information, this church denomination was established in Tonga recently in 2005.)

Okay, I will stop now. However, that is exactly what I did in Uyghur wikipedia by increasing the number of articles from just 40 to 800. (because I'm an admin there).

Were the Uyghurians grateful for that? I personally see rather 1 page done well than 800 empties. --Tauʻolunga 08:05, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
I don't know the answer - not many of those folks have actually discovered wikipedia yet.
Another good example would be Arpitan/Provencal wikipedia which has 1555 "articles" (mostly stubs).

By the way, Thankyou so much Tauʻolunga for your excellent translation effort. I am very very grateful. May Tongan wikipedia prosper!

(In the future, if you ever need any articles to be translated to the Chinese mandarin language, then I can help out.

Best wishes -- Joseph, 08:00 Wednesday 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[fatuʻi vahe] Spain

Please, how "Spain" is said is it your language? Might you create the article about my country?. Thank you. 88.3.18.156 14:16, 3 Siulai 2006 (UTC)

Sepeni. Create I can, but more than a stub it will not be any time soon, I am afraid --Tauʻolunga 03:45, 4 Siulai 2006 (UTC)

Ko au Filihau

Soit bienvenue. Comme tu vois, personne n'a pas encore décidé d'écrire seulement en Tongien, Anglais, Français (ou même Siberien?!) ou non. On a besoin a peu près de 1500000 articles pour dépasser en.wikipedia. --Tauʻolunga 06:07, 24 Siulai 2006 (UTC)

[fatuʻi vahe] Images

Commons

Hello! I see you have done big job for Wiki. I'm specially interested in bulding gallery at Commons. I hope you can help me - just don't put your images here, but upload them at Commons. I also see you don't write the license of picture. Please remember, that you should do that. If you have some public domain pictures please remember to put them on commons - then I can use them at other languages Wikis. (like this).

Best wishes, Klapi 10:40, 22 ʻOkatopa 2006 (UTC)

All new pictures are provided with a fakamatala template, which includes a license. The photographer is not always known though. Most pictures, however, I consider not useful outside Tonga. But if you have different ideas about that, tell me which ones you would like to see commonised. --Tauʻolunga 20:16, 22 ʻOkatopa 2006 (UTC)

[fatuʻi vahe] ’eta

Hello, Académie Tahitienne decide on its grammar to choose the quote close (’) to represente the glottal stop. At the Fare Vāna’a website's I found the list and the chosed form. Also, a tahitian friend said me that the quote close was the "official" form. So, these are my sources for the representation of the glottal stop.

My knowledge of reo tahiti is limited and I use simple texts. So, the easiest way was write articles of catalan places, because I have difficulties for the good transcription of the french polynesian islands in tahitian.

En un autre ordre des choses, mes félicitations pour le travail que vous faites dans la wikipedia en tongalais. C'est vraiment magnifique!

À bientôt,
