Wikipedia

A Language Committee member provided the following comment:

The proposal for closing the Greenlandic Wikipedia is accepted. Despite Greenlandic being an official language with roughly 60,000 speakers, the wiki has never developed a viable community: over the last two decades only one or two Greenlandic users have contributed, and there has been almost no growth in the last five years. Most articles are short or unintelligible, and machine-generated content—initially from experimental Greenlandic machine translators and more recently from AI tools like Google Translate—has frequently produced nonsense that could misrepresent the language. The sole active admin, with academic expertise in Greenlandic, has had to monitor and delete such content, but no sustainable community exists to safeguard the language. Given the risk of harm to the Greenlandic language, the seemingly negative attitude towards the project in Greenland, and the absence of genuine user activity, the project should be closed, with any remaining content moved to the Incubator for future use. --MF-W 20:53, 12 September 2025 (UTC)
