Manchu edit
It is good to see that a native Manchu speaker is interested in creating Wikipedia! I will do my best to make the process shorter, but even in that case, the process lasts for a couple of months. As Manchu is highly endangered language, I would like to explore other possibilities for helping to your linguistic community. --Millosh (talk) 07:54, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
For example, if you have (or willing to make) audio recordings of native speakers of Manchu, they could be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons immediately. If you have scanned texts (or you are willing to scan them) in Manchu, they could be uploaded to Multilingual Wikisource immediately. Note, also, that every Wiktionary is a multilingual dictionary with description in particular language. That means that you could use, for example, English or Chinese Wiktionary for describing Manchu words. --Millosh (talk) 07:54, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
I would also ask you to send me an email (millosh@gmail.com), so we could discuss about the needs of your linguistic community and how Wikimedia can help your efforts to preserve Manchu language. --Millosh (talk) 07:54, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
