- We already have a WP in Azerbaijani, but there are two other scripts widely in use: Azerbaijani speakers in Iran have always used the en:Arabic alphabet, and even in Azerbaijan, the en:Cyrillic alphabet is still used. NazismIsntCool 05:40, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
- Is there any support for one of these, as far as you know, on the current Latin script Azerbaijani Wikipedia? Caesarion 10:42, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
- There is no community there. It's almost completely empty. The script thing is almost a non-issue -- a non-issue for a non-wikipedia. --Node ue 16:49, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- The script issue could be one reason that the community is almost completely empty. At least NazismIsntCool stepped in. Scott Gall 22:57, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
- We will be using separate subdomains, one WP never hosts another. Scott Gall 12:47, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
- I didn't mean that. I meant: are there users on the current Latin script az: wiki who would like to contribute to any of these two proposed Wikipedias? Caesarion 11:24, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
- I think that the people using Latin script wouldn't be familiar with a change in script, but having Arabic and Cyrillic scripts will give the Azerbaijani language (as a whole) a larger fanbase. But I think some of the people using Latin script might like to use Cyrillic script. Scott Gall 08:45, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

- (Oppose.) I'd regard the script issue not as a reason to create two new wikipedias, but as something requiring a solution by different means: providing some good recoding facilities (helping both readers and writers to use various scripts) at the corresponding language's wikipedia ([[:az:|Azerbaijani wikipedia], in this case, but also Tatar, Serbo-Croatian are probably good examples of this issue). Otherwise the efforts of creating the wikipedia in a single language would be divided between 3 projects. :-( --Imz 21:17, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
- az was created for many month. It is not for Azerbaijani in all scripts? (28 May 2005)
