- Die Wikipedia in nördlichem Luri (لۊری شومالی) wurde geschlossen, da der Inhalt nicht in echtem nördlichen Luri geschrieben wurde. Aus der Begründung des Sprachen-Komitees: „Es wurde festgestellt, dass der Inhalt von lrc.wikipedia.org eigentlich nicht in einer verständlichen Form von Nord-Luri (lrc) geschrieben ist. Es ist eher ein Versuch, eine "reine" Form der Sprache ohne persische oder arabische Lehnwörter zu präsentieren, die dann stattdessen kurdische Lehnwörter verwendet und so etwas wie eine Mischform aus (Nord-)Luri, Laki und Kurdi (geschrieben mit dem kurdischen Alphabet) ergibt. Da dies eine komplette Erfindung von Benutzer:Mogoeilor (und vielleicht einigen anderen) ist, ist das Wiki für die Allgemeinheit unverständlich. (Übersetzt mit www.DeepL.com/Translator)“.
