Press contact

Is there anyone who wants to be the official press contact for this language, in the odd case anyone from the press wants to talk to a contributor to this project? If so, contact me at en:user:zanimum/press. -- Zanimum 16:40, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

I answered but please come also the other administrators. Fafnir 19:45, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Why?

Why do people waste so much time on fake languages?

Ido is not a "fake" language. Although it is not spoken in any country, it has a full set of grammatical rules. It is constructed, not fake. Furthermore, Ido was constructed to address a very important need in the world today: the need for an international second language. Obviously, people in different countries speak different languages. Recently, the world has become increasingly globalized, an these language barriers have become a problem. Natural languages (ones that evolved: French, English, Russian, German, etc.) can be very difficult to learn, due to idioms, grammatical inconsistencies, and the like. For this reason, a number of languages have been constructed. These are called "international auxiliary languages" or IAL's for short. Ido is one of these languages. Some constructed languages, like Ido, have no exceptions to their grammatical rules. They have also been formed with the knowledge that foreigners will be learning them, so the vocabulary shares roots that many people already know. They are thus much easier to learn than natural languages. Ido happens to be the only language of its kind (the only IAL) which was developed by a team of professional linguists. For more information, see Ido

Esperanto and Ido

These languages are very similar. So we need an article in other Wikipedias which shows the differences so that interstested people get a suggestion about ist. That would be very nice.

@German speaking guys: Have a look at the article "Unterschiede zwischen den serbokroatischen Standardvarietäten". That is what I mean according to the missing article "Gegenüberstellung von Esperanto und Ido". So I hope here is an Esperantist who likes to make it.

Today's articles for improvement project

On the English Wikipedia, we started a project called TAFI. Each week we identify underdeveloped articles that require improvement. Our goal is to use widespread collaborative editing to improve articles to Good article, Featured article or Featured list quality over a short time frame.

This is all about improving important articles in a collaborative manner, and also inspiring readers of Wikipedia to also try editing. We think it is a very important and interesting idea that will make Wikipedia a better place to work. It has been very successful so far, and the concept has spread to the Hindi Wikipedia where it has been well received.

We wanted to know if your Wikipedia was interested in setting up its own version of TAFI. Please contact us on our talk page or here if you are interested.--Coin945 (talk) 17:48, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
