Discrimination against the Afrikaans Wikipedia

@Mike Peel:, see this message please: https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:WikiAfrica_Hour&action=edit&section=2 I would like a response please. Regards. Oesjaar (kontak) 12:25, 2 Augustus 2022 (UTC)

@Oesjaar: I've read your message - and it's good to see that the Afrikaans Wikipedia is growing! However, your tone really does not help here. We're all volunteers, and we all have limited time available. Rather than berating others that they are not doing enough to support your work, please consider finding or, better, creating venues that do support your work instead. Thanks.

Thanks for the response. So what you are actually saying is that none of the all the stuff created to promote African Wikipedia's is available to the Afrikaans Wikipedia. Fine, we will continue growing on our own... We have reached out, it was declined. Regards. Oesjaar (kontak) 20:15, 2 Augustus 2022 (UTC)

@Oesjaar: No, that's not what I am saying. I think you're approaching this from the wrong direction. I think you would do better if you share achievements from Afrikaans Wikipedia with the wider community - and letting them decide whether to emphasise them or not - rather than attacking others. And at the same time, you could set up a way for your community to share its news in a way that doesn't rely on others? Thanks. Mike Peel (kontak) 20:35, 2 Augustus 2022 (UTC)
