- There is a simplified English wiki (here, so why not a complicated english one? I have a group of friends who are minor wikipedians without accounts who are enthusiastic about creating this wiki, and we are beginning to translate a few pages from the English wikipedia.
- I don't know about using sqp as the code. I think sqp might be the 3-letter code for Albanian (the native name for Albanian being Shqip.) Scott Gall 05:26, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
- I think the 3-letter code for Albanian is sqi, not sqp. I know a tiny bit of Albanian, having been to Albania myself as a teenager.

- Please don't put User:NazismIsntCool's signature where I removed it a few minutes ago. The discussion says she opposes the request, as she has already had problems learning regular English when she moved to Washington DC in 1999. Scott Gall 08:10, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Oppose. English is considered a complicated enough language without this. Keeno 14:06, 16 April 2006 (UTC) Oppose Arbeo 21:30, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
