 Dear friends of knowledge, welcome to this presentation about Wikipedia in Frisian and Luxemburgish. I am Ziko van Dijk, Historian and Linguist. The Wikipedia language versions differ from each other in size, but also in the content they provide. With this in mind I ask, when the Wikipedia community of a language version produces content, does it try to represent all topics of the world equally? How does it focus on topics that are particularly related to the language in question? Some languages are considered lesser resource languages. Accordingly Wikipedia in such a language also tends to have limited resources. Should these resources be used for a local focus? Or is that an undesired self-restraint, creating a knowledge gap itself? Eigenbezug according to Kloss. The Linguist Heinz Kloss assumes that a small language produces written texts primarily in certain domains and at certain levels. The three levels here are first the non-fiction that everybody learns at school, second non-fiction for the job or other specialized domains and third the university and research level. The three domains are first self-related Eigenbezug topics from the own sphere of life of the linguistic community, for example its language, literature, local history, native traits etc., second the humanities, third science and technology. According to his assumption literature is produced in the small language on all three levels, but only if the subject belongs to the first domain, Eigenbezug self-related topics. The second domain one reaches only levels 1 and 2 and the third domain only the lowest level. The two languages selected here are minor West Germanic languages. Both Frisian and Luxemburgish are rather small languages with a few hundred thousand speakers each. In many domains of society they are not dominant but have to compete with larger languages. In the Dutch province of Vriesland this is Dutch, in Luxemburg the other two official languages are French and German. Wikipedia on Eigenbezug. Wikipedia in Frisian says on the page What Wikipedia is not, that it is not an encyclopedia of Vriesland. It is supposed to be an encyclopedia about the whole world. The Wikipedia in Luxemburgish has Eigenbezug in the rules for notability. I have asked several contributors of Frisian Wikipedia and Luxemburgish Wikipedia. While none of them are in favor of a mandatory focus there are differences. Some contributors argue that the language version should prioritize these topics while others believe that an encyclopedia should cover all areas. Content in comparison. I have evaluated and compared a number of articles in categories with or without Eigenbezug. Here are just some examples. Wikipedia in Frisian has eleven articles on dialects of Frisian. I looked at the size and quality of these articles and compared them to Dutch and English Wikipedia. The articles of Frisian Wikipedia perform best, Dutch Wikipedia significantly worse and English Wikipedia has only three short articles on three of the eleven dialects. Church buildings in Immunizapality in Frisland, Haarlingen has sixteen church buildings, each of these have an article in Frisian and a corresponding article in Dutch. The content is not exactly the same but similar in detail and scope. Wikipedia in Luxemburgish has a category on novels in Luxemburgish. One of the forty articles has a counterpart in any other language. About the use of sources, if an article mentions sources at all, the source is mostly in a dominant language. Sources in the small languages are quite rare and this is especially true for specialists or scientific literature. Readers. As seen the Wikipedia's and Frisian and Luxemburgish have content that can compete to some extent with the content of other Wikipedia's. Consulting Wikipedia in the small language may be a rational choice indeed. Several contributors believe that readers do come to the small language version for content with Eigenbezug. Others are afraid that readers don't even know their language version at all. There are official Wikipedia statistics regarding the number of page views, however I have often the impression that they are flawed. For example in March 2023 Luxemburgish Wikipedia had been accessed 78000 times from Luxemburg but also 21000 times from India. It is hard to believe that there is a significant Luxemburgish speaking group in India. Articles with Eigenbezug do not necessarily generate many page views. One example is the forty articles about novels in Luxemburgish. The two articles had an average of at least one page view per day. However generating a lot of page views doesn't have to be the main goal for the own language. It can be also a value in itself that the language version covers the topic completely for example all architectural monuments in the region. Discussion and conclusion. A Wikipedia language version has limited resources. These should be used primarily for content that is most important for the readers. However this assumes without proof that these readers are indeed interested in topics with Eigenbezug. One contributor said that most speakers of Luxemburgish speak several languages anyway. They find other topics in other language versions. This may be a suitable strategy in Luxemburg because Luxemburgish and German are mutually intelligible but not in other countries. A negative view sees Eigenbezug as an undesirable self-restraint that runs counter to values such as multiculturalism. As one interviewer said an enforced restriction does not fit to an open encyclopedia. In this research I used an approach by Klaus. There is clearly a focus on Eigenbezug in the two Wikipedia's. However it was difficult to see with the same clarity the three different levels. One has to keep in mind that Wikipedia is supposed to be a general reference work. Accordingly one would have to expect only level 1 and level 2 anyway. To examine more nuanced differences between levels one would perhaps need to examine a larger Wikipedia. For example Gordayev and Ali criticize the Wikipedia's in English, Russian and German for being too difficult to read. To understand articles about diseases one needs a college degree they say. These large versions have partially become specialist and scientific encyclopedias. Conversely one might say that the Wikipedia's in Frisian and Luxemburgish preps come closer to the ideal of Wikipedia as an encyclopedia for everyone. Thank you.
