My suggestion would be therefore that the "minority languages of the British Isles" be cast in amongst the "minority languages of Europe", and the top links be to other Wikipediae in the Anglic "cluster". Currently, that contains only English and Simple English (I would be hesitant to include Aenglisc on the grounds it is no more intelligible to a Scots speaker than Gaelic). My real desire would be for these "top spots" to go to other under-represented Anglic language Wikipediae, though this is precluded for the now by the complete absence of any. However I think this project could also play a role in encouraging them - would it not be interesting to see Wikis popping up in Northumbrian, Cockney, [[incubator:Wp/enm|Middle English]], [[incubator:Wp/jam|Carribean Patois]], Traveller Cant, even American or Australian English? And what's more, such projects would not only preserve minority languages for their own communities, but would be mutually near-intelligible. - [[Special:Contributions/R160K|R160K]] 12:02, 5 Mairch 2013 (UTC)

Judge: Remove concrete barriers at coin laundry parking lot
Press (Newport News, Va.)]By Matt Sabo, Daily Press (Newport News, Va.)McClatchy-Tribune Information ServicesMarch 22--GLOUCESTER -- A judge on Friday granted a temporary injunction to remove two concrete barriers blocking a Main Street coin laundry parking lot and preventing it from being used as a shortcut by patrons of an adjacent shopping center.The barriers had been installed in August 2012 by the owners of Gloucester U-Do-It Laundry over concerns that customers could be hurt by cars traveling through the parking lot and that the asphalt is being damaged by the volume of vehicles, according to testimony in the hearing in Gloucester County Circuit Court.The Main Street Preservation Trust, which manages the Main Street Shopping Center, sought the removal of the barriers so customers could make the dogleg trip through the parking lot and turn left on Main Street at a traffic signal.Coin laundry owner William Rogers Brown testified that he built the laundromat in 1985 and saw motorists speeding through his parking lot. He testified that he personally saw a person almost get hit in the parking lot and is concerned someone may get injured or killed in the future."And I'm going to be the one responsible," Brown said.Prior to 2003, motorists were barred by the Virginia Department of Transportation from exiting the coin laundry and making a left-hand turn onto Main Street, witnesses testified. But in 2003, a traffic light was installed at the intersection of Main Street and Route 14 allowing the left-hand turn onto Main Street and shopping center customers and postal workers began driving through the coin laundry parking lot to use the light.Jason Messersmith, an attorney representing the trust, said motorists had access to the parking lot for more than 20 years. Since the barriers were installed, customers of the shopping center who want to turn left onto Main Street are forced to use an exit near the Gloucester County Library and cut across two lanes of oncoming traffic, he said.Property manager Mark Mulvaney testified that one tenant, Dollar General, has notified the trust it is considering leaving the shopping center over concerns about access.Judge R. Bruce Long ordered the shopping center to pay the costs of removing and storing the barriers, which is estimated to be less than $1,000.Whether or not the concrete barriers will become a permanent fixture will be decided at a trial. A trial date hasn't been set.___(c)2013 the Daily Press (Newport News, Va.)Visit the Daily Press (Newport News, Va.) at www.dailypress.comDistributed by MCT Information Services
