VISAYANS who speak Waray can make research at the Wikimedia in their own tongue. Yes, through
the Waray-Waray Wikipedia by logging on to war.wikipedia.org.
The Waray-Waray Wikipedia a Visayan version of the
open-source online encyclopedia, is
currently among the top ten wikipedias in the world in terms of the number of
articles, Mr. Butch Bustria of Wikipedia Philippines, the umbrella organization
of Wikipedia projects in the country, said. It has reached over 2.9 million
page views in April alone.
The Waray-Waray Wikipedia was activated on September 25,
2005, by Harvey Fiji from Tacloban. The contributors held their first local
meet-up in January 2013 at the Leyte Provincial Capitol, Tacloban with the help
of PIA Regional Director Olive Tiu.
As of this writing, it contains over 1,003,000 articles.
The Waray-Waray Wikipedia, which is run by the global
Wikimedia Foundation has now at least 2,098,833 pages, 77 active users, and
4,987,588 edits.
The Waray-Waray Wikipedia has already surpassed one million
articles. It reached the 1 million mark last June 8 with the distinction of
being the first Asian Wikipedia project to do so.
Other Philippine tongues with their own Wikipedias include:
Cebuano, Bicol, Chavacano (Zamboanga City), Ilocano, Kapampangan, Pangasinan
and Tagalog. opt
